LPub & ROTSTEP - skips rotation step

[Johann Eisner]

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

Johann

The whole empty steps things comes from LPub ignoring duplicate step metas, because many people "abuse" the meta by having a normal step followed by a rotstep.

I think the main problem here is people don't realize the step meta is an indication of the END of a step not the beginning.

Those double steps, and thus empty steps, are very annoying in editors.

Or am I missing a genuine reason to have double step metas?

You are right Roland

The whole thing works also without the empty steps.

This code for example:
