JC,

Excellent work.
Is this or any of the other tools on www.DesignTools.org version specific?
Please keep it up.

Cheers!
Drew

Hi,

Today we have a new release from the open source DesignTools project and
it includes the new Rotator program. The Rotator program is designed to
do bulk rotation of text in your design so you no longer need to waste
hours manually rotating each chunk of text to the desired position. This
is particularly helpful when you are starting to do silks or if you use
the Cadence "Modules" feature in your designs.

http://www.DesignTools.org

The idea for this tool came from Pat Davis of Millennium Design simply
because he needed something like this. With any luck, it will also save
you some time.

During the last few weeks most of the work put into the DesignTools
project has gone into the general organization and infrastructure.
Though this work doesn't immediately result in new programs or features
for end users, it will make life a lot easier going forward.

If you have any ideas, feedback or opinions please voice them on the
discussion@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list.

Kind Regards,
J.C. Roberts
