To make rotation work like you want, you have to move the group to the origin
of the MLCAD space, rotate the group, then relocate the group to where it

| Here's a clarification of my question: I'm creating a minifig generator plugin for LDDesignPad (possibly a stand alone version as well). I'm having trouble rotating the arm,hand,tool assembly about the origin of the arm. Using an inline procedure (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

How about this? s.origin = singlepart.origin For (each part) diff.origin = part.origin - s.origin part.origin += diff.origin rotate part about part.origin part.origin -= diff.origin Scribble the movement on paper and see if it works. I think (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
