About Rotating Orthographic Symbols

You can use the Rotate (Flip) grip to rotate schematic symbols 180 degrees in the direction indicated by the grip.

Rotate (flip) grips on a schematic symbol

When you rotate a schematic symbol that is connected to other objects, the software adjusts the connected objects to maintain their connectivity. For example, the software might make minor adjustments to the lengths of connected schematic line segments after you have flipped a symbol. If it cannot adjust the objects, it disconnects them.

Note: When you add an in-line orthographic symbol, the rotation applied to the symbol is determined by the schematic line into which it is inserted. Because the symbol is attached to the line with a curve anchor, you can rotate the symbol by rotating the curve anchor, using the Curve Anchor commands on the context menu.

You can also rotate the symbol using the Properties palette if you release the anchor first. However, this method requires that you break the relationship between the symbol and the line. You can restore the relationship by reattaching the symbol with a curve anchor. To rotate an orthographic symbol using the Properties palette, first select the symbol. On the Properties palette, expand Basic, and expand Location. For Rotation, enter the number of degrees and press ESC.
