Re: [PEDA] Rotate components with drag tracks
Hi I was without the hole size editor for several months, then I lost x-y coordinate display for library editing only. The only solution for me was to completely uninstall all things Protel / client / pcb etc.. Then clean up the registry getting all program references removed. And finally reinstalling 99SE from the distribution CD and SP6. I made a point of not doing this while in mid project. Was all this absolutely needed? I don't know.

Re: [PEDA] Rotate components with drag tracks
Hi Phil and group Perhaps i should have been clearer, it rotates when dragging a component fine (with space) but if i do a (M)ove (C)omponent and then press the mouse to bring up the component selector, select the component i want jump to cursor and it will not rotate with space! Only if i then drop the component and drag it will it work. However it does work with M, C if i turn drag connected tracks to none! Will that help explain it further?

Re: [PEDA] Rotate components with drag tracks
| Hello Rich, | | I'm not really sure about your process, but the rotation whilst moving | should be easy. | Left click drag the component and use your shift bar to rotate in 90 degree | steps. | | regards, | | Phil. That is only if your rotation step is set to 90 degree. Mine is 45 degree. Space Bar will rotate one way, shift space witll rotate the other.
