(...) Hm, not seeing my original reply appearing.. so I'll try again. I'd be more suspicious of a part origin problem. I highly recommend a run through of Greybeards Tutorials (URL) well done video tutorials, and using them I've done some relatively (...) (18 years ago, 9-Mar-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) You're right. I commented out the STEP parts of your script, and the rotation works as expected. Since I don't use STEPs, I will just leave that part commented out in my copy. Thanks for helping me with this problem, and thanks for writing the (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-06, to lugnet.cad)
