View rotation and mirror

Former Member

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.

    I am still using Eagle 3.53 and solve this problem

    with a workaround:

     

    display all  // or only the layers you want to rotate/flip

    group        // around the whole area

     

    move ( right click )

           more right clicks // for rotate

     

    or

    mirror      // for flip

     

    I use for example: dimension, tplace and tvalue for the assembly of the PCB
