Rotation of elements from the electric symbols menu

[balfonsorojas]

Greetings I have a problem with the rotation of elements, when i select a symbols and the try to rotate it horizontally it does not work. I have already checked if there is an specific aditional feature for this function, but i haven't found it If somebody knows the solution for this issue i will be grateful for your help, I'm new to this.

@rhesusminus can you help me ?

Place the component on a horizontal wire, and it will rotate automatically?

Check the "Horizontal" checkbox when inserting from the Icon menu?

Use the rotate command?

I have no idea what you're trying to do. Pictures would be nice.. Video?

hello, look is this...

what happens is that when I want the symbols that I create to rotate their attributes like the figure does not do it and I have the question of why...

clearly I have created the blocks under the autocad nomenclature "H --> horizontally " and "V --> vertically "

but what I don't know is if I would have to create 2 blocks
1 with H and another with V

because currently I only have them created with the V --> vertically


And if so, I have another question, would I have to load the 2 symbols to the symbols menu? Or would I only have to upload 1 of the 2?

It's because you'd want different attribute placements/rotations for the horizontal/vertical version of the symbols.

You only need to place ONE of the symbols in the Icon menu. AutoCAD Electrical will choose the correct symbol depending on whether you place it on a horizontal or vertical wire.

If you don't place it on a wire, you must first check the "Horizontal/Vertical" checkbox.
