There is no orientation attached to this. So PCB assumes the square shape should be aligened along the axis of the grid. After the rotation transform was applied to the two points, they still coincide. Consequently PCB insists to render them like before. The work-around is to make the pads slightly non-square. Then There are rounding glitches, though. If the two points differ by too little distance, the resulting shape renders not quite in the expected angle. For the attached screenshot I have modified your footprint by 1/100 th of a mil, 5/100th and 10/100th. The larger the difference, the more the square shape rotates like it should. I guess, this issue will be three orders of magnitude less severe, once coordinates are stored as nonometers. I attached the modified footprint, too. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de -----> not happy with moderation of geda-user mailinglist
