Altium edit library footprint7/27/2023 So am I missing something obvious or does Altium really lack a basic rotate tool ? EDIT: Thank you for the responses, they have been very useful. In eagle you just select, type "rotate r45" in the command console and apply to group. I had to delete the original and also the 1st copy of the circular pattern in order to leave the 45 degree version. The only way I found to do it was to copy, paste special, circular array, 45 degrees, twice. I searched for it in their wiki-based documentation but found nothing I could use. With that in mind I started looking for the "rotate" tool in Altium. ![]() So, suppose you draw them first at right angles and at the end just rotate everything 45 degrees. But it is easier to draw them at right angles because it is easier to use the given measurements that way. Suppose you want to draw a footprint for a part like: The navigation switch's pads are drawn in the datasheet rotated 45 degrees, so that the switch directions are natural (up, down, etc).
