cylinder to an exact position. The cylinder is part of the ball-joint.  See
photo at http://www.student.ipfw.edu/~osbodr01/torso.jpg

I use MLCad for view the file I write in notepad.  But I can not position the

A few things. First, I thought I'd point out that the code actually has two spheres, SLIGHTLY offset from each other (If you zoom in far enough, you can see the a slight crease). You'll have to remove one of them in order in order to truly line up (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) First question: do you know your angle of rotation? If you don't know the angle, it's going to be very hard to get the right fit. Answer #1: If you've got LDraw Add-On, use the rotation tools in the LDAO Editor. They are very similar to the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
