I'm having some trouble working out the matrix handling for parts in a DAT file given the parent DAT matrix. What I'm doing is the following: let's say in a DAT I have: 1 0 X Y Z A B C D E F G H I parent.dat and in parent.dat I have 1 0 x y z a b c (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) shouldn't this be more in the line of a' = a*A + b*D + c*G b' = a*B + b*E + c*H c' = a*C + b*F + c*I d' = d*A + e *D + f*G ........ don't really know what your trying to do with the matrices. You should always tell what a variable is supposed (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) [snip] (...) BTW, you can rewrite the whole problem as a matrix multiply: |a d g 1| |A D G 0| |b e h 1| x |B E H 0| |c f i 1| |C F I 0| |x y z 1| |X Y Z 1| Which doesn't seem very interesting, except that the left-hand matrix doesn't have to (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad)
