Hi Leo,
There is a setting for how many degrees objects should rotate for every
time you press the space bar. Check if it is correctly defined (like 90
deg) under Tools>>Preferences>>Rotation Step. Setting this to 0 deg would
cause the problem you are seeing.
I believe that the component drag setting may influence this behavior too
if I remember correctly. Try to change that setting under preferences.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards

rotate components anymore
Please respond to
Protel EDA Forum
Hi folks,
leave it to Leo to crash into weird stuff: the PCB editor refuses to rotate
components when I press the spacebar.
What happened: last wednesday I was happily working on a complex design and
all I had to do was annotate (auto-annotate makes a mess of multi-part
components) and fill the PCB with parts in the proper place. With a long
weekend ahead and nothing better to do I took de .DDB file home to some
work on it (stupid thing to do: we have fabulous weather).
Found a few errors, corrected them and issued the update PCB command.
Shuffled some of the components around, and then it was monday again (told
ya: fabulous weather)....
Took the .DDB file back to work, opened it and tried to pick up where I
left. I typed M-C and picked up a chip: it moved OK, but wouldn't rotate
with the spacebar (or any other key for that matter; tried different
components: no luck).
Opening the LIB, re-update PCB from both LIB and Sch, closing and
re-opening: nothing I tried so far helps.
However, it IS still possible to manually rotate the part by editing the
rotation.
I am convinced I messed something up, but what?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
