(...) What you're trying to do is define a rotation vector, which can also be explained as a "custom-oriented axis". 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)

(...) Well I'd recommend doing it that way, as it is MUCH easier. The problem moving pieces at strange angles is that the default movement is in x, y or z direction - not in the direction that they are rotated. Remember also that you don't have to (...)
