Is there a way to batch replace a bunch of footprints AND maintain the same orientation? I'm working on a job where the client wants me to replace my CAPC1005N footprint with his 0402 footprint. The problem is that the created orientations of the two parts are different. This would require me going thru hundreds of parts and rotating them back to how they are currently placed in the design. Checking the keep attributes box doesn't seem to do it. TIA for any suggestions.
Create a new decal to match CAPC1005N orientation and save it as 0402_ALT.
You will not have to deal with parts rotation.
