Has anyone thought about doing a footprint rotating utility?
The problem isn't rotating the footprint, it's that nothing in pcb
expects pads to be other than orthogonal. For example, the gerber
exporter can't plot angled lines with square corners, it would have to
draw them as filled polygons. The autorouter doesn't know about them
either, nor does the optimizer.
or some of the connection scanning code and DRC code.
FWIW, there was a patch submission on sourceforge which allowed more
rotations but it didn't address all of the issues.
