Placing components at discrete angles

I have to position through-hole components at discrete angles (other than 90°).  Are the only options to create new footprints for each component or add holes and pads directly into the PCB layout at the required positions? 1)  Is it possible to draw original footprints with holes/pads at discrete angles or only at 90°? 2)  If adding holes and pads, can I remove a ratline from the original component footprint transferred from the schematic to the PCB layout and manually reconnect them to the newly inserted holes and pads, and then delete the unused original component footprint in the PCB layout?

In the PCB and PCB Footprint Editors, Pads have a **Rotation** property. Other objects have to be drawn as required. In the PCB Editor, a selected Footprint has a **Rotation** handle as well as a Rotation property: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/0ZRQOTmSpnAnIinXRrvm2W8KLaUGREagdFDcIZMJ.png) " If adding holes and pads, can I remove a ratline from the original component footprint transferred from the schematic to the PCB layout and manually reconnect them to the newly inserted holes and pads, and then delete the unused original component footprint in the PCB layout?" That way lies madness and a huge amount of everyone's time wasted. There are several recent examples of this in the forum. Make all necessary changes in the **Schematic** **first** and then do **Update PCB...** Please follow the Design Flow in the Tutorial, (1) and read (2.2), in (2) in: [https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/How-to-ask-for-help-and-get-an-answer-71b17a40d15442349eaecbfae083e46a](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/How-to-ask-for-help-and-get-an-answer-71b17a40d15442349eaecbfae083e46a)
