Ok, so the way I eventually solved this was to set the first refdes in the element file, then paste in the subsequent parts in refdes order. The autoincrement handled it from there.
The sequence is like this: LoadFrom(ElementToBuffer,packages/SYMBOLNAME) PasteBuffer(ToLayout,2000,2000,mils) FreeRotateBuffer(-72) (repeat PasteBuffer and FreeRotateBuffer four times, using trig to determine PasteBuffer coords) SaveTo(Layout) Quit() I made a Python script to generate this sequence, which I piped into pcb --listen (It would be so nice to have a real scripting language in pcb, and an interactive shell like a proper CAD program does.)
