View rotation and mirror

e14 Contributor

There are times when it would be very handy to be able to rotate the

view of a PCB layout or schematic. I don't mean by changing the layout

or schematic itself, but rotate how the layout or schematic is VIEWED.

 

It'd also be handy to be able to flip a PCB over so you're viewing it

from the bottom, rather than the top.

 

This is nothing more than coordinate translation when drawing the screen

and interpreting click locations. It wouldn't change anything stored in

the schematic or board file, so the effects in the code should be

relatively localized.

    Seemingly you don't know how often (and for how long) this has been

    requested before - unfortunately without responses so far. image
