I've seen a mechanism for achieving this recently on another tool. You can
add run-time attributes to each gate such as GROUP=FPGA1 and then during
annotation only parts with compatible attributes can/will be put together.
This could also be very useful for defining components in isolated

Can anybody answer this quicker than me attempting to find it in help
files.
I know how to adjust the rotation steps in PCB editor, but how do you
adjust in in schematics from 90 degrees to 45 degrees.

Steve,
As far as I can see, you can only rotate in steps of
Hi
Has anyone used the Runprocess TextEdit:SetTextAt process in a script
before? i am having difficulty getting it to work.
i need to paste a user inputed string from a dialogue box into a text
document but nothing happens!
eg.
msgbox output = mystring$

Steve...
1.) the question should be rephrased to Symbol Rotation.. not Component
Rotation..
2.) Why would you want to rotate a symbol in Schematic capture to something
other than
90 degrees.? This not standard practice. Also, keep in mind that your pins
of the symbol need

I've already given up, and done it the standard way.
I tried drawing it at 45 degrees as a library symbol, but the pins still
had to be at 90 degrees.
I was just designing a matrix, with about 50 odd diodes, and thought it
might be easier to rotate the diodes 90 degrees.

Protel does do this, BUT it will mess up (or actually it doesn't take into
account) the order within a grouping.
Use the group parts together if match by checkboxes. The default is part
type but if you put some text in a part field and check the corresponding
box, it will keep those parts

Thanks everyone for the help on this; Aalt's pointer to the info about
grouping the parts is the key that should allow me to do what I want!

There's a number of new PC motherboards coming out with the large (500
balls) Northbridge chip rotated by 45 degrees - it can ease compliance with
the high speed bus constraints required for these designs.

There may be a better way, but as I recall, moving the entire design will
force an update of all polygons. So select all, pick it up at the origin

That's not the issue. PCB placement can be at ANY orientation. (It's default
is 90 degrees, but can be easily changed)
They were talking about schematic placement.

This can cause the component to be placed out of the working area after update

Good thinking.
Yes, that would do it, and it is not a terribly uncommon

My very quick test suggests that the documentation for the process is
incorrect or that there is a bug. I think you should refer it to Protel
Tech Support and get them to tell you what the correct parameters are - I
have copied this email to them and they usually seem to reply to

Ian, it's actually pretty easy to loose parts.
We recently have had a situation where a group of components have been
unknowingly moved into the negative region of the database as part of a
move selection process early in the placement stage. It turns out that the
