 | | Idea for a new feature to help rotation of parts in Ldraw Cad software
|
|
The purpose is to define default rotation centers for parts. This can be defined by a directive placed in parts and primitives. The primitives that should contain the rotation center axis directive are: - axleholes - pegholes - studs - may be (...) (24 years ago, 23-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The rotation axis defines a rotation center and limits the rotation to one degree of freedom. It should be used in primitives that basically only have only one degree of freedom in rotation like pegholes and axleholes. This feature will avoid (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

Perhaps what is meant is to add an additional method of rotating parts... In addition to having the ability to rotate in the X, Y and Z directions, some parts would have an additional axis of rotation, in which you could rotate them, REGARDLESS of (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

I this is a very good ideia, which I have also been researching due to LSim. Basically it's a good ideia for two main reasons: 1 - it allows for an easyer/faster placement of axel/axis connected parts, so it's good for editing and model authoring. 2 (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
