I've found an error on rotation of footprint containing square pins and
pads: if you rotate a footprint of this kind with freeRotateBuffer(), for
example by 45 degrees, you'll obtain that all is correctly rotated except
for square landpatterns wich remain orthogonal to x-y axes.
In footprint containing square pads (lines starting an terminating at the
same point) you can surpass this issue with a little trick, just adding a
mill cent to the end point of the line that describes the pad (but you have
to modify manually each footprints...), but for square pads I don't see any
trick...
Is there a way to surpass this problem?
