Add Multiselect Functions : [Rotate/Mirror/Flip]-In-Place
Description
When multiselecting items, functions such as rotate and mirror affect the multiselect as a group.
I would additionally like to add the following:
• Ability to rotate/mirror each item in place in a selection:
- With respect to its present orientation/mirroring
- Absolutely (same orientation/mirroring for all in selection).
- Note: This already exists in Property Manager for orientation.
Details
• Scope of this functionality applies to all objects. This already exists for text and graphical objects due to the text/graphics edit wizard. Let's increase the scope to the meat of KiCad:
- Text / Graphical
- Symbol / Sheet / (Hierarchal) Label / Pin
- Footprint / Pad (if footprint not already selected)
- Zone / Rule area / Dimension
- etcetera.
• Ability to set the intended behavior in wizard option boxes:
- Scope: Perform [ Grouped | Individually ]
- Reference: [ Absolute | Relative (to present orientation) ]
• Addition of functions for these variants:
-
Already existing:
- Rotate clockwise
- Rotate counter-clockwise
- Mirror horizontally
- Mirror vertically
- Change side/flip
-
Add:
-
(group)
to hotkey labels existing function - Duplicate hotkeys of these functions, but change
(group)
to(individual)
- Right-click menu mouse-over options > [Group | Individual].
- Left-clicking the parent function should still perform the default (group).
-
Example
When I have this (but with 20+ items):
I can only get this:
But sometimes I would like this instead:
Note : This example is limited in that all objects are already oriented the same way.
