It seems that rotation step does not work anymore?

Hi Jaco,
  Thanks for the DAT info on the failing behavior.  I found and fixed an
LPub bug.  You can work around this bug by rearranging your DAT.  Here is
part of what you sent me, starting at the beginning:

0 STEP
0 ROTSTEP -155 135 0 ABS
1 7 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3034.DAT
0 BUFEXCHG A STORE

If you rearrange things like this:

1 7 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3034.DAT
0 ROTSTEP -155 135 0 ABS
0 BUFEXCHG A STORE

Notice there was no need for the initial STEP, because there were not parts
added before the step.

Notice that ROTSTEP is a STEP that lets you specifiy rotation.  So following
STEP with ROTSTEP and no intervening parts doesn't do much good either.
MLCad ignores these as steps because you added no parts.  LPub was trying to
do the same, but in the process forgot to remember the rotation.

In the second draft, you get exactly the same results as your original code,
but the description is more concise (and it works around the bug in 2.1.0.8 :^)

LPub 2.1.0.8 is available from http://www.users.qwest.net/~kclague.

This version of LPub adds these new features:

- Sub-assembly callout image generation
- Unique construction image background colors for up to four sub-model
levels.

This is nice!!!

Jaco
