This must be a problem directed to the partwriters, or what?. I have never made a part, but I think parts must have a 0,0,0 which should be at a logical rotationpoint. But if they place 0,0,0 more or less at random, you have no way of knowing where (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
