My ignorance of meta-commands is very nearly complete, so I throw myself on the
mercy of my peers here in lugnet.cad.dev
Is there a way to "set" the rotation point of a part that will work in LEdit?
For example, if I'd like the 2x4 brick 3001.dat to rotate around the centerpoint
of the front-bottom edge, can I set the point of rotation to (0,24,-20) in some
way?
I know of the ROTATION CENTER meta-command, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Naturally, I could translate the relevent part so that its actual center is on
the intended rotation point, but this can be undesireable for off-sized
elements.
Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it amounts to "read the documentation,
you clown."
Dave!
