Waveguide Element Rotation
If a composite waveguide has the rotation parameter set, you can rotate all the elements inside the composite waveguide by the specified rotation value. The rotation of the waveguide elements is determined based on the rotation value set on the individual waveguide elements and the value set on the composite waveguide.
Let us consider that a composite waveguide includes two waveguideStraight elements with rotation on each element set to 0. Let us also assume that the rotation of the composite waveguide is set to 45.
On canvas, both the waveguide elements are rotated by 45 degrees, which puts them at an effective rotation of 45 degrees. If the waveguideStraight elements were set to rotation of 45 and the composite waveguide was set to rotate by 45 degrees, the effective, on-canvas rotation of the waveguideStraight elements will be 90 degrees.
However, when you edit a composite waveguide using the Composite Waveguide Editor, the composite waveguide is considered to be at rotation 0. This allows editing the rotation of the individual waveguide elements without taking into account the rotation of the composite waveguide.
