You need to expand your detail a little. * Are you using the Graphics inset or the External inset to 'hold' these .fig files. The approaches used to generate latex from each are fundamentally different in the 1.3.x code. I suspect that you are using the Graphics inset, because the external_templates file shipped with LyX 1.3.x does not handle pdflatex conversion at all. It all comes down to what converter you use to define the conversion from .fig to .pdf. You can probably wrap the native fig2dev call in a shell script to also rotate the generated pdf file. Just some thoughts, -- Angus
