Is it possible to arbitrarily rotate a polygon in Eagle 4.1?

autodeskguest

I need to make 24 pours that are all the same, odd shape, but in different

places and arbitrary (i.e. not 90 deg.) orientations on my board.  It would

be nice if I could just draw the polygon once, then copy/paste/move/rotate

wherever I need it.  So far, though, I've only been able to

copy/paste/rotate (in 90 degree increments); once pasted I can't fine tune

the position with move.  SUggestions?

 

I CAN move and arbitrarily rotate a symbol.  Is it possible to convert a

symbol to a polygon?  Thanks.

    draw your polygon anywhere you like, then choose a reference point for

    rotation and copying and place the mark there.

     

         mark (x y)

     

    next select the polygon with the group command.

    now you can rotate it using

     

         rotate Rxyz (R> 0 0)

     

    where xyz is the angle, the > tells eagle to apply the command to the

    actual group and the R denote mark-relative coordinates.

     

    Now copy the polygon to the required position

     

         copy (R 0 0) (x y)

     

    picking from the mark position and placing it at x, y absolute
