Wow, you need an upgrade almost as bad as I do. I'm still using a PC
with Windows 95 on it.
Here's another set of axis that've been around for a while now.
They're not as big, but they're labeled so you don't have to remember
which color is which axis.

I liked them so much I duplicated them in C code so you can see the
origin of a piece you plan to rotate. If you're really still using
ldglite you can toggle the display of the current part's rotation axis
with the command "/ta" in ledit mode.
Enjoy,
Don

I continue to use ldglite, too, primarily for its indispensable "hoser"
function. Incidentally, I do have some trouble with 1.0.18 on my Intel Mac. The
display doesn't seem to "update" properly except briefly after being obscured by
a menu, etc. - otherwise it remains white. The same version works fine on my PPC
machine. I'll try to figure out if I can provide more specific information once
I'm done fiddling with LDView.
I like how Paul's axes include XYZ+- labels. That's clever.

Hey, cool axes. Yes, I'm still really using ldglite. Hoever, I just got
a new MacBook! Hey, I wonder if the new development tools will compile a
a "fat" binary of ldglite. I'll have to look into that when I have the
time.
