We are improving the experience on both 2D and 3D sides. In last September release, we added the new pattern command in electronics editors. We also implemented sketch inferencing system for electronics. Improving the move command in 3D PCB environment is something we are discussing now.</P> Sun, 05 Feb 2023 06:45:11 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-electronics-forum/how-to-free-rotate-the-components-with-mouse/m-p/11730755#M7142 yqliu 2023-02-05T06:45:11Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-electronics-forum/how-to-free-rotate-the-components-with-mouse/m-p/11731035#M7143 <P><a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1234375">@yqliu</a>&nbsp;Thanks for the feedback.
