Why module pads rotation is in global coordinates in PCB files?

Asked by Alexis jeandet

Hi,
It's weird, it seems that PCB modules pads are rotated in PCB coordinates while they are translated in module coordinates.

Example:

A pad on a module with 0° rotation:
(pad 4 smd rect (at -1.4 0.75) (size 0.7 0.25) (layers F.Cu F.Paste F.Mask)
      (net 17 "Net-(R204-Pad1)"))

The same pad on a module rotated by 30°:
(pad 4 smd rect (at -1.4 0.75 30) (size 0.7 0.25) (layers F.Cu F.Paste F.Mask)
      (net 7 "Net-(R105-Pad1)"))

It seems inconsistent to me..

Best regards,
Alexis.
