Hi everyone,
I just started getting interested in lego modeling in MLcad, and I am
really enjoying it. I am having a little trouble with it though..maybe
you can help me out...
I have placed a part (plate 1x2) into the work area, and I need to
rotate it along the X axis. in the 'enter position and rotation' dialog,
it says the angle is already 90 degrees. this is referring the the 90
degrees I had to rotate it to get it pointed long ways instead of
sideways. (can you tell I'm new?)
Basically a breakdown/tutorial of the enter position & rotation dialog
would be greatly helpful. Does anyone know where I might find such a thing?
Thanks for your help!

PS: playing with this program has prompted me to buy my first real lego
set in years. Anyone know when spider-man parts will be added to the
parts list? :)

Its origin is always 0,0,0 and it will extend in the direction set by the XYZ coordinates. This way of working is very powerful, (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
