   Actually, you've mentioned off-handedly something that's been
bugging me for a long time; how do you "set" the center of rotation?

In LEdit you can set the rotation centre with the keystroke "/ T C".  I
don't know about other LEGO CAD packages, but I think they should follow
the LEdit standard when it comes to keystrokes.

  That works fine for me, because for now I use LEdit almost exclusively.  I'm
a little familiar with the "/T C" function; does this set the "center" to the
center of the piece?  How about when using subassemblies while drafting larger
models--does "/ T C" set the "center" to the center of the whole assembly?
  I'm not trying to be obtuse, really!  I've just had the sense that I'm
missing a fundamental property of LEdit.
