Subject: [geda-user] Setting rotate point on a footprint

I created a footprint for 18 pin dip with oval pads for easier 
soldering. My first try. I seem to have gotten it right with just one 
problem. After drawing it all and selecting all elements, then 
"Select>Convert selection to element" and then selecting pin one for my 
anchor and rotate, the diamond appears in pin one. I save it. All seems 
well accept it will not rotate when rotate icon over pin one. I can 
place the rotate icon over any other place on the footprint and it will 
rotate. But, place it over pin one, with the diamond,  and nothing.

What am I doing wrong?
