I need the following operation: I need to rotate more than 1 component (for example 20 or more) but if i select all components they all rotate about the centre of the selection : what i need is to do a rotation about the centre of each component ; it seems that this operation can be done only selecting one component at time . Is there an option in Pulsonix that allows what i'm trying to do? (Note i need this both in sch and pcb)

One idea (maybe) in the PCB Editor,

Use Output > Report and select Pick and Place CSV.
Open the CSV in Excel, create a new column, and do a formula to translate your rotations, save the result as a new CSV file.

Back in Pulsonix PCB Editor use File > Import Design Data and select the new csv file.

Alternatively you have to know what components have each of the four othoganal rotations, and you can select all those components with a common rotation value manually, right click, choose Properties, then enter the new rotation.

Again, in schematic editor you would have to know which components have the same rotation.

You can get this using a new report format:

List of Components
Component Name
Rotation
