Group change angle of offset pads

scott216

I'm changing the pads on a library part from round to offset.  I need to change the angle on all of them from 0 to 270.  I was able to group change the shape from round to offset, but I can't figure out how to change the angle.  If I type change angle 270, I get the error "Unknown change option: angle".  So apparently angle isn't a valid command.

    ROTATE is what you want.

    See HELP > ROTATE

    That didn't quite do what I wanted.  I selected several pads to rotate with the group tool, entered ROTATE R90, then right clicked on the group and chose Rotate: Group from the context menu.  It rotated all the pads together as if they were one device.  I want each pad rotated individually so it stays in the same spot.  Basically, rotated around the hole in the pad.  It works the way I want If I enter each pad name in the command line like this:

    ROTATE R90 PAD1 PAD2 PAD3

    But I'm trying to do this using the group tool and my mouse.
