Silkscreen designators are not fixed

Problem environment

Panelisation often benefits from board rotation, which displays designators wrong if they are set to dynamically rotate according to an axis.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Observe the layout
  2. Examine a designator reference
  3. Review the reference settings

Expected result

Each reference setting should not specify Keep Upright.

Actual result

Some reference settings do specify Keep Upright.

Notice

The kicad_pcb files can be edited to avoid time consuming manipulating with the user interface.

Severity level

This is high priority because project requirements state panelisation which implies such tasks.
