Operating on multiple parts

[Michael Horvath]

Is it possible to apply the same rotations on more than one part at the same time? E.g. rotate each part around the y axis by 90 degrees for instance, but not around a common center but around each part locally. Can this be done in MLCAD?

You can do this in my LDCad if you not afraid of an adventure in scripting.

edit: using this script:

Code:

function onRotInsRun()
 local sf=ldc.subfile()
 
 if sf:isLinked() then
   local sel=ldc.session():getSelection()

   local ori=ldc.matrix()
   ori:setRotate(45,0,1,0)

   for i=1,sel:getRefCount() do
     local ref=sel:getRef(i)
     ref:setOri(ori)
   end
 end
end

function register()

 local ani=ldc.macro('Rotate instances')
 ani:setEvent('run', 'onRotInsRun')
end

register()

Can I select the objects to operate upon using the mouse? That would save a lot of time.
