Electrical – Rotate multiple PCB designators in Altium

altiumlayoutpcb-design

I am copying rooms in a PCB from the right side of a board to the left. Rotating everything in the room is easy – select the objects, Edit > Move > Rotate Selection.

But now all of my designators are upside down:

I don't like this. I figured out how to use the Find Similar Objects function to select all the designators in the room, but Rotate Selection does nothing to them.

Any ideas, besides individually rotating 14 designators? I'll have to reposition them anyway, but at least if I could rotate them in one shot, that would be something.

If you can get them selected then you can change their rotation parameter using the PCB inspector. You would have to do the horizontal and vertical ones seperately though.

Given you are planning to reposition them manually anyway i'm not convinced that this will save much time over just hitting space to rotate them while you are dragging them into place.
