Components not JLCPCB rotated

[tormyvancool]

Describe the bug By importing the production files in JLCPB I expected the components had the correct orientation. Unfortunately this doesn't occur

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the project
2. Click on the JLCPCB button
3. export
4. Load the Gerber and the BOM/CPL on JLCPCB
5. See the errors ... ICs are still wrong rotated as well as transistors

Expected behavior I expect that the CPL file is already corrected based on JLCPCB offsets

Unfortunately there is no magic index where we could lookup the rotation correction ...

KiCAD has no clear definition where pin 1 should be and to my knowledge JLC define pin 1 depending on how the parts are packaged.

So you have to define a rotation correction for the parts that are not correctly oriented.

I think I found the way (please consider I installed the plugin today ). It's required (it's not written into the MD file) just to click on ROTATION and then click on UPDATE ... Thank you for your support

Yeah, the documentation could be much better. PRs are highly welcome 😁

Yep, I can't edit the read.md file but certainly you can do it rapidly with 2 screenshots :-) I sent the link of this repository to a couple of other ppl which are also interested on this solution.

I think it depends on the exact package footprint. The "IC" term is very generic. @tormyvancool - if this is still an issue please provide footprint name. @Bouni - BTW I found some rotation errors myself and I added the corrections to my rotation list in the plugin. Is there a way to maintain the list here, so other people will benefit from this too. If so how and where shall I report it? EDIT: I found out from your code that the rotation correction list is maintained here: https://github.com/matthewlai/JLCKicadTools so I'll report it there.

Thank you for information. Maybe the download button can download also the rotations. It was very unclear that I need to click on UPDATE in rotations. I have found the solution after an hour in this thread.
