(...) While there is a strong difference in the real world, the difference if fairly small in the LEGO world. Take 6041.dat, for example, which is, like you said, a boat propellor. But you will find this one on many "aircraft" like official (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Like Fredrik said, you should use the origin as the rotation point for parts and other subfiles. Most parts have been written with the idea that the part would be rotated around the origin. Also, rotating subfiles on the origin allows advanced (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't understand this. What if the user wants to rotate by something which isn't a multiple of 90°? Say, 30°? If the rotation point is off by one (or even a half) stud, it isn't going to work to offset the part afterwards. Unless you offset (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I believe the problem is not the rotation point itself if the center for rotations is set to a stud or between two studs every thing would work fine, since the default step width of MLCad is halve a stud. So after rotating you can place it (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
