Adding alternative configuration for reversible footprint/s #5

Open maciejmatczak opened 4 years ago

Hi @daprice , thanks for that library, looks great!

I was thinking about reversible footprint you have here and the fact that on the flipped side - you need to rotate switches front to back. I would like to propose alternative configuration, so instead:

We could try with:

I already forked and created one of the alternative views here: https://github.com/maciejmatczak/keyswitches.pretty. Do you think it would work fine? I need to check how well routable this footprint is as well. Overall not much work on my side, just carefully rotating shapes 180*.

If you would like to pull it back upstream - I would be happy to open a PR, but I am guessing the best idea would be to prepare an alt view for every reversible view...
