Marking upside-down. PCB 4.0 beta 1
When a component is rotated by 180° relative to its default rotation, the marking (e.g. RefDes) is upside-down.
Re: Marking upside-down. PCB 4.0 beta 1
Imagine you rotate many/all components and now all markgings are hard to read on the screen.
Can the markings be reset to default?

Re: Marking upside-down. PCB 4.0 beta 1
Users requested component marking rotation together with components. We did it in version 4.0 beta. As always, you can edit marking position manually ( F10, then move and rotate).

Since decades it's good practice to make drawings/things readable from two sides for good reason (let's say from front and right side) . This new marking "feature" completley ignores this.
If this really comes in Version 4, then after each rotation of a component you have to manually adjust the markings in order to keep it readable or you and up with a markings mess and tidiy up at then end of design.
Did mentioned users give some use case for this idea - I really would be interested?

Alex - this feature should have a toggle; how do we turn it off so the text does not rotate with the part? I have never had a need for this.
Re: Marking upside-down. PCB 4.0 beta 1
We have already the "toggle" in source codes, the option "View / Component Markings - Rotate Markings with Component" will be available in the next version.

Looking forward to that. The Ref Des are a HUGE mess right now!
Re: Marking upside-down. PCB 4.0 beta 1
Are there any updates on this, this is a very frustrating "Feature"
Re: Marking upside-down. PCB 4.0 beta 1
Same question here.

Hi Freddy63 - update to the latest version (4.1.2.0), the option is now in place, and works great.
