I have what I hope to be a simple question... I'm using LPub to make instructions for a large 10k piece model. I'm well aware of the ROTSTEP command, which was critical in ensuring the right perspective at all times.
The problem is that I would like to add a completely blank step showing just the rotation action, so the reader can see the new perspective *before* adding the parts for the next step. I tried the following seemingly obvious schema, but the extra "step" is being discarded. - I can only assume that LPub has logic to ignore "Step" commands where no parts were added.
Code:0 STEP
0 ROTSTEP 30 -60 0 ABS
0 !LPUB ASSEM MODEL_SCALE LOCAL 0.25000
0 !LPUB INSERT ROTATE_ICON OFFSET 0.5 0.5
0 STEP
0 !LPUB ASSEM MODEL_SCALE LOCAL 0.25000
1 0 -2540 -152 640 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel12.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 -400 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 -200 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 200 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 400 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
0 STEP
Help appreciated!

Hi Tom
Both ways lead to the success.
For Philippe's way you need this code for example:
0 STEP
0 ROTSTEP 0 180 0 REL
0 BUFEXCHG A STORE
0 BUFEXCHG A RETRIEVE
0 STEP

If nothing goes right, go left.
