It seems that there is a rotation being inserted somewhere... I (...) (22 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

OK, this isn't because of the "rotation" of the parts, it's because MLCad is inserting bogus commands at the top of the file 0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 "Custom" 0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0 It also is changing the value of the filename (removing the (...)

But the tool is SO useful that it's worth working around, hence my questions... I think I've got it now. (...) (22 years ago, 31-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

However since Parts Tracker is going to complain about any unofficial or undocumented meta commands in submitted parts, it'd be nice if MLCAD didn't insert these 0 ROTATION lines unless they (...)

| | | | (...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

The first time you use the editor, you'll want to go into the editor's Options | Viewer Settings menu, and select which viewer to (...) (22 years ago, 31-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
