gEDA-user: Component rotation in PCB

[michalwd1979 <michalwd1979@xxxxx>]

Hello,
Please correct me if I'm wrong but now we can rotate components in PCB only in 90 deg. steps. Is there any option to put elements (I'm thinking about big TQFP packages) at 45 deg to each other? It would make my layout simpler if two ICs would face each other with corners not edges.

I've read a discussion about component rotation in PCB somewhere and I know that it would be complicated to have completely "free" rotation possible, but is this feature planned? I understand that it is usually no point in placing one component at 37.5 deg to the other, esspecially if we want to have a board automatically assembled, but in my opinion it would be really nice to have a 45 deg rotation option.

Best Regards,
Michael Widlok
