I probably misuse ROTSTEP, too (but I put it to good misuse). I usually put
ROTSTEPs immediately after STEP commands (at the top of the file, for the
first step) and before the parts I intend to rotate. So, my version of the
file might look like this:
0 ROTSTEP 0 0 0 ABS
1 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3865.dat
0 STEP
0 ROTSTEP 0 0 0 REL
1 4 -150 -24 70 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.dat

I prefer the description as presented by Allen.
1 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3865.dat
0 ROTSTEP 0 0 0 ABS
1 4 -150 -24 70 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.dat
0 ROTSTEP 0 0 0 REL
ROTSTEP is STEP with rotation,and steps are bottom of current step (as well
as top of next step (after the first step)). So, ROTSTEPS rotate the model
for the parts preceding the ROTSTEP.

Well, I’ve definitely been doing it wrong! I guess it’s just coincidence that my
approach renders OK in LPub. Plus, Bricksmith doesn’t treat rotsteps as steps -
yet!

| (...) It is not coincidence that it works. LPub is written to handle it your way. STEPs and ROTSTEPs that are not preceded by type 1 through 5 lines are not treated as step. (...) Kevin (16 years ago, 4-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
