Title: KiCAD 7 Rotate Pin Numbers and Names
Post by: jaybp on March 17, 2023, 09:57:19 pm

I just started using KiCAD 7. Is there any way to rotate pin numbers and/or names on the schematic symbol? I don't see it under Pin Properties in the Symbol Editor. I'm guessing this request never made it into V7? I come from the Orcad Capture world where I would often rotate names and pin numbers on vertically place pins.

I don't think there is and while a minor thing, I also think it's unfortunate not to be able to select pin num and pin name orientation.

Just unselect the show pin names and numbers and add your own. Have fun. Tilting my head takes less effort...
