(...) No, sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Perhaps I misunderstood the original question? You needed to rotate a part with name 48\1-4cyli.dat in LEdit, right, and LEdit choked on the filename? The rotation matrix should be the same no (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Ahh yes, but I also need to use the part that uses that primitive, and if LEdit won't load the primitive, then I can't use the part. Has noone ever used the \48\*.dat primitives? I count three in my directory, and if the policy is not to (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Fredrick was suggesting that you can use the low-res version of primitive in your file, rotate the primitive to the proper orientation, and then (using a text editor) change the filename to include the 48\. LEdit does not choke on parts which (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Sure, no problem. I prefer to inline and find the true coordinates of the polygons in the primitives, though. There may be some small rounding errors both in your sine calculations and in LEdit's, and if they don't match, you'll get small (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
