I have seen I can rotate the model using the LeoCAD pane in LPub, but have not found a way to extract the rotation information and use it as a ROTSTEP command. Is there an easy way to do this? There must be a better way to go about this than to punch in some numbers and hope for the best....
There is an easy way if you have LDCad installed:
- Rotate the model to the position you want
- Select the "STEP" command in the source window
- Right mouse click on it and select "Properties..."
- In the "Step Properties" dialog window click the "Sample view" command button. This will show you the required values.
- If you click the "Accept" command button it will change the STEP command to a ROTSTEP command with the appropriate value.
