I like this program a lot. I have a number of features/suggestions to add,
is it still in active development.
However I have one problem that I need help with from the user community. It
seems that there is a rotation being inserted somewhere... I made my pattern
using a bitmap, everything looks normal in QUAD2DAT but when I export it, it
seems to be getting rotated 180 (or mirrored if you prefer) along the
horizontal axis.
If i just go in with MLCad and select all the quads and rotate them so that
the part looks right, the parts tracker utility complains that you can't
have rotations in parts:
- start -
Results of PT-Submission check:
Error
8: Meta-command not allowed in parts 'rotation'.
Error
9: Meta-command not allowed in parts 'rotation'.
- end -
How do I fix this, short of writing something that changes the sign of every
X value in the file??? I know other people are using this tool, how do you
get round it? Is there a tool that you can use that fixes these without
using a rotation?
To my embarassment I didn't catch this until AFTER I already submitted my
part and was trying to fix the (not really but almost) collinear quads that
the checker was complaining about

| (...) Hi Lar, If it's a rotate rather than a mirror, you can use the LDAO editor to quickly rotate it. This actually rotates the matrix rather than adding a ROTATE. LDAO can also do a mirror, but it's a bit more fiddling around IIRC, and I'd have to (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) You should be able to fix it by creating another file that references your file using a mirror matrix, and then inline that part with an inliner tool. So, for instance, if your part is x123.dat, you would create a file called mirror.dat with (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
