 | | Idea for a new feature to help rotation of parts in Ldraw Cad software —Marc Klein
|
| | | 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)

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 (...)

| | | | | 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 (...)
