Altium rotation quackery
« on: September 21, 2016, 06:13:00 pm »
So, I was dragging and rotating a part of a layout. Rotated just fine, except for the pads that seem to lag 90°??? Anyone ever saw something like this.  :wtf: :rant:

Are component primitives locked?

Did you select by filter, so that the pads were part of the selection as well, not just the components?

<sarcasm> I don't know what you're talking about, those diodes look perfectly fine... you sure do use a lot of diodes though... :-DD </sarcasm>

Nope. Just dragged a window over it.

That was actually my first tought too: geez, how many diodes did they put there!  ;D Altium threw a tantrum around that time (ie 786 523 889 error boxes, rats nest screwed up,...) so I guess it was just a more interesting way for Altium to crash. Still sucks though...
