To rotate ports in Altium Designer, press the Spacebar to rotate the port counterclockwise, or Shift+Spacebar for clockwise rotation. This rotates the port in 90-degree increments.
Here's a breakdown of port rotation and mirroring options:
-
Rotation:
- Spacebar: Rotates the selected port 90 degrees counterclockwise.
- Shift+Spacebar: Rotates the selected port 90 degrees clockwise.
-
Mirroring:
- X Key: Mirrors the port along the X-axis. This flips the port horizontally.
- Y Key: Mirrors the port along the Y-axis. This flips the port vertically.
These commands can be used during placement of a new port or when modifying an existing port on your schematic sheet. Just select the port you want to rotate or mirror, and then use the appropriate key. The port will immediately update on the schematic.
