The pop-up tip says that you can rotate the selected part by using the arrow keys. But the arrow keys don't do a darn thing for me. Has anyone else managed to rotate a part in LDD? Is this just a bug with the new Mac version, perhaps? Thanks, Joe (19 years ago, 25-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I don't know about MAC, but in LDD for PC (I assume is the same principle) once the part is selected, meaning you click with the arrow from the parts pallet, and when the part is shaded then you can rotate the part with the arrow keys.

(...) Oh! That's the problem. You have to do this while the part is still clinging to the mouse cursor.

(...) Well, there's no reason they couldn't have it both ways; add keys to move the pieces in X and Z after it's placed (in addition to the existing Y movement), and also to rotate it. Then you could move/rotate the piece while it's clinging to the (...) (19 years ago, 26-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Oh yeah, have it work both ways would be fine with me too, and it wouldn't confuse people who got use to the way it is now. Chris (19 years ago, 26-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)
