This must be a problem directed to the partwriters, or what?. I have never
made a part, but I think parts must have a 0,0,0 which should be at a
logical rotationpoint. But if they place 0,0,0 more or less at random, you
have no way of knowing where the rotationpoint should be. This is just a
guess.
Parts that rotates and like, should be placed in different submodels at a
logical rotationpoint. Then the submodels is rotated correctly in MLcad.

| (...) Be careful criticizing the parts authors when you don't know what you're discussing. They've put a helluva lot more thought into this than you have. For example, at which logical rotation point should 0,0,0 be put? A corner? The centerline for (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

| (...) Expanding on what Jeremy wrote, the <0 0 0> point for pieces has been the subject of much discussion. Part of the reason things seem so odd in MLCAD is that MLCAD rotates on the center of the bounding box, not on the <0 0 0> point. Steve (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
