Hi. I just hit a legitimate use case for mirrored footprints: A layout sketch for dead-bug-prototyping. That is, glue the component with its back to the board and do the wires manually. However, there seems to be no way to mirror a footprint.
For the moment I'll work-around with components moved to the back of the board. But an "official way to do this kind of layout would be welcome. Would it be difficult to implement a mirror-action? Or is it already there, but not accessible through the GUI? Some kind of semi documented action? ---<)kaimartin(>--- PS: An official mirror action would be nice-to-have for text, too. Text on bottom sometimes needs fighting before it renders correctly. Some combinations of rotated/mirrored board view don't mix well with text insertion. -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
