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.

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.

(...) Yeah! That's EXACTLY the problem I'm having! The transport door is one big dat file and since MLCad wants to rotate on the center of the box and doesn't actually give me a choice to move where it wants to roate elsewhere. Kya (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
