Footprint editor doesn't remember previous pad orientation

[Art]

Previously if you placed a pin while building a footprint the next pin would come up with the same orientation. Now all the new pins come up with the Orientation equal 0. So if you build a big pad arrays, you have to rotate every single one. And one more thing, previously, once a pad was placed, the next one would be visible right away, now you have to click for that to happen and then you need to position it and then click again to place it. What is the point of this double clicking?

What canvas are you using?

[Art (diametrix)]

I'm using a computer not a canvas!

Sorry. I don't know anymore, I can't keep up with you guys renaming it.

Not to put to finer point on it but had you spent the time it took you to type up the question to actually try placing pads you would see that it happens in every canvas (in Legacy you can't rotate pads at all now)

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

Please stay on topic and attempt to avoid detrimental comments, they are of now use.

Your description of the nug is sparse. It is missing information about the canvas. This is likely to be important info to reproducing the bug.

I was not at my desktop when I looked at the bug last time so I had no chance to check it myself. I am not right now either.

@Nick

> Your description of the nug is sparse.

It is concise. Are saying that you were unable to reproduce it?

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

I cannot duplicate this on either the legacy or modern canvases. When I change the orientation of a pad, all subsequently placed pads are in the same orientation until I change it. It does appear the rotate hotkey in the legacy canvas is broken but that is not the reported bug. @Art, what are the specific steps used to produce the error?

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

@Wayne, if that's a recent build then it's because I fixed it. It appears I accidentally committed it with another change: f17c18bccea578b936e214e18a81707751362ace.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

@Jeff, that would explain why I could not duplicate it. I was using a fresh build from this morning.
