That was a trick answer. I don't know how and I am hoping someone will
say how. I think MLCad takes the center of the grouping bounding
rectangle.
It certainly doesn't seem to be based on the origin. I had a submodel
that I made sure had its 0,0,0 point where I wanted the center of
rotation to be, didn't help.
In this particular case I would make sure (by adding links at both top
and bottom) that the center of the rectangle was the center of the gear.
But one cannot always ensure that to be the case.
