This is high priority because project requirements state panelisation which implies such tasks.
# 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
1. Examine a designator reference
1. 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.
