.  What is the difference between Part Origin, Part Center, and Part
Rotation Point in the Rotation Point dialog box (MLCad)?
.  Is the Part Rotation Point something you program into the part? and if
so, how?

- Part Origin, is the absolute zero (0,0,0) point of the part itself.
- Part Center, is the computed center of the part (e.g. the part ranges from
(-2, -2, -2) to (+4, +4, +4) so the computed center is (+1,+1,+1).
- The part rotation point, is not defined for normal parts from the library
(not yet), but can be set for selfmade parts, or sub-models. In the rotation
dialog you can define a custom point, the first custom point is the part
rotation point.

If the rotation point is set to part rotation point, and the part has no
such point, mlcad will default to part origin instead ...
