Well isn’t that ugly (and a bug)? I didn’t think to check the bottom of the board setting on the new part. When I did this:
turns in to this:
However the good news is that if I change the family from “pin header” to something else (which I will do right now) it should work normally as it will no longer interact with the parts factory code and do what you need.
Here is a new part with a different family name that works correctly in both views (until we manage to fix parts factory):
Raspberry-Pi-Header-40pin-new.fzpz (16.1 KB)
This is the main change, now when positioned on the bottom of the board the footprint reverses correctly (as the parts factory now longer recognizes it as a pin header and doesn’t change it!):
Good catch!
