It is the previous version of ML-Cad that has this presentation of zero when a
part has been rotated. In version 1.4, the problem has been fixed.
I did point out the problem from version 1.3 in the message:
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/?n=2362
I suggest all upgrade to version 1.4, and that problem will disappear.
LDS is not a cleanup tool, but if you run "LDS myfile.dat newfile.dat", it will do
some cleaning. But then again, it can't handle the number -3.33067e-015 correctly,
but rather interpret it as
-18.3307 (-3.33067 - 15)
