I'm extremely happy to see the 6575 "Technic Cam" part, but say, don't
parts like this normally lie flat in the X-Z-plane in LDraw?  It makes
sense to compare this part with the "Liftarm" parts in LDraw, and they
all span the X-Z-plane.

Good point.  An alternate idea would be to rotate it 90 degrees in the Y-plane.
That would place its default position in perfect alignment with all the axles
default positions.

What does everyone think?
Leave it as-is?
Lay it down flat?
Rotate it 90 degrees to line up with axles?

Doesn't matter to much to me.  Whatever its default position ends up as, I will
invariably have to rotate it in various ways to fit a model.  :-)
