Multiselected components: Batch rotate, individually

[itsko]

Is it possible to batch rotate multiselected components individually (in any editor — Schematic / Symbol / Footprint / PCB)?

Thus, could I select several components, and hit modifier+R (Shift+R, Ctrl+R, etc) instead of R, and rather than all of them rotating together about their combined center point, each individual component would instead rotate on its own center point as if I had gone to each and hit R individually?

• Example, (oversimplified, but imagine with 12+ components):

If I recall correctly you are on Kicad v7.

For the board-editor you can use the properties panel. It cannot rotate the items, but it can set all selected items to a defined angle. So you can set all references to 0° or 90° with one step.

For a “individual rotate”-action the properties panel would need an “relative” mode were the input-value is added to the existing value of items. This is discussed in Using existing property values in the Properties panel fields (#12291) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab, but it seems the interest from the original properties panel developer is only medium.

For the footprint-editor the properties-panel will arrive with the next kicad version.

For schematic and symbol-editor I don’t know a help for you.

(Yes, latest KiCad stable — v7.0.1.)

If it’s not a major priority, that’s fine, it’s not the most pressing issue, but I’m happy to upvote what someone else has specified. Thank you.
