The ROTATE command is used to change the direction of objects in steps of 90 degrees.
Packages
When rotating a package, wires (tracks) connected to the element are moved at the connection points (beware of short circuits!).
Packages can only be rotated if the appropriate tOrigins/bOrigins layer is visible.
Objects
Wires, circles, pads, rectangles, polygons, and labels cannot be rotated individually unless defined as a group.
Text
Text is always displayed so that it can be read from in front or from the right - even when rotated. Therefore after every two rotations it appears the same way, but the origin has moved from the lower left to the upper right corner. Remember this if a text appears to be unselectable!
