As far as I understand the use case at the moment, it seems to be more sensible to rotate subcircuit around its own origin while making the necessary trasformations so that the floater is kept with its original rotation and coords in boord coordinate system. This is my understanding: there's a resistor somewhere, refdes placed elsewhere (where you had the room on the silk layer) and then you find the resistor is better rotated 90 or 180 degree (happens to me a lot). But the refdes is already placed elsewhere, carefully, so rotating the refdes (relative to the board) is probably not a good thing at all in this situation. Best regards, Igor2
