I think it is unfortunate that MLCad uses the same "0 ROTATE" command
as LDLite. Other parsers (like L3P :) may get confused. L3P can skip
0 ROTATE 180 0 0 REL
0 ROTATE 90 0 0 ABS
0 ROTATE 10 0 0 ADD
because the syntax is different from LDLite's, but
0 ROTATE END
is the exactly the same.
Quote from LDLite doc:
0 ROTATE angle_degrees axis_x axis_y axis_z
surrounded lines
0 ROTATE END
This command rotates all surrounded lines around the line through
the origin and the point (axis_x, axis_y, axis_z).
<end quote>
I suggest that Michael Lachmann uses e.g. ROTSTEP in stead of ROTATE.
