if I switch off the silk layer, the got the same result, not the element nor the text is rotated if I move the text away from the symbol, i can rotate the symbol BUT! if I switch of the silk layer and have the text moved away I am NOT! able to rotate the element! Is this intended? > > So lock the text, or move it away first. Having silk text on pads is not > good for soldering... I agree :-) But is it not a typical work flow to first move and rotate the parts, do the layout and after that move the labels around? If I first move the labels, they may appear near another element. This makes things a bit difficult to handle... I think the "no rotation of elements if silk layer is off" is a bit mysterious. The lock names setting is my work around for the problem, so I can do my work. But I think this is not the behavior which is expected. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
