(...) no, your both wrong. the rotating/mirror problem is within q2dat. -bug report- when doing a 1 x 2 tile q2dat mirrors your quads. when doing certain panels or bricks, like for instance. do a 1 x 4 x 3 panel and make a quad in it. then save it.

  Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released **
 
(...) 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 (...)

  Re: DAT files: Do No Harm
