Rotate atmel mcu in pcbview

Hi, how can I rotate a atmel mcu in pcbview? Ive managed to rotate it by editing the footprint by choosing “move” …and then 450 * 0.1 degrees… but when i get back to PCB view all the ratnest connections are gone for that mcu component… Heelp. Thanks.

Put the mouse over the footprint and press “r” for a 90 degree rotation.

The footprint properties popup (mouse over footprint, press ‘e’) in PCBnew has a rotation selection box that can be used to enter non-orthogonal orientations.

Have you tried doing “Redraw” from the “View” menu? KiCad is fairly horrible about letting the view get out of sync with what it’s “supposed” to be.
