(...) 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)
