![]() Without further delay, let's get started, and make sure you watch the video later in this article if you want further overview of the place and move functions in Altium Designer. How Do I Rotate a Part in Altium Designer? Parts can be rotated in both the schematic and the PCB layout. Note that a rotation in the schematic does not also rotate the component in the PCB layout, and vice versa. Rotating a Part in the Schematic and PCB Layout The options for rotation in each document are also different, as outlined below. Part rotation in schematics is limited to 90 degree increments. In the PCB layout, parts can be rotated in either 90 degree increments, or you can set an arbitrary rotation angle. Use the Spacebar - The easiest way to rotate a part is to do this while it is flying on your mouse during placement. Go into the move command and then select the part. Once the part is flying on your cursor, use the “Spacebar” or the “Shift > Spacebar” to rotate the part one way or the other as shown in the pictures below. Menu Option - Use the Edit > Move > Rotate Selection or Rotate Selection Clockwise pulldown menu and then click on the part to rotate it.Įither option will allow the part to be rotated as shown in the image below. ![]() The other method for rotating the component is to use the Properties panel. To access the rotation setting, first open the Properties panel. Next, select the component you want to rotate. ![]() After selecting the target component, you will see a Rotation option in the Location area of the Properties panel. Once you have transferred the design into the PCB layout, you can rotate components with the same setting. Grab the component and press the Spacebar/Shift + Spacebar to rotate the component Counter clockwise or clockwise, respectively.
