After almost 11 years of dealing with Datsville, I still find the coordinate
system confusing. This picture may help to understand a little.

The yellow line is the z axis at x=0. The white represents the x axis at z=0.
The further upper left, the lower the x value. Pink line is x axis at z=1280, ie
two baseplates away. The harderst part to me to get into my head is that the x
value decreases while getting further away at the top left, while z increases
while getting further away at the top right.

(...) Thats normal behavior in each coordinate system. My problem is more the y axis in LDraw that it decreases if it is higher! But thanks for that information. I am sure it will help in some cases. cu mikeheide (14 years ago, 24-May-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
