Rotating

Post by debenriver »

Hi Eric!

I'm having a little trouble with Duplicate & Move >> Circular.

I am rotating a centreboard -55º. I select -55º and Rotate copies. I select 1 time(s). On next click.

I click on the rotation point and it is perfect. Rotated centreboard is exactly where it should be with a 35º attack angle.

However if I select 10 time(s) and click on the rotation point it doesn't rotate around the rotation point. I do 10 times (or whatever bigger number of times) to check that it doesn't foul some of the surrounding structures as it rotates)

I experimented with a simple rectangle with a rotation point in and up from the bottom right hand corner. Perfect 1 time(s) and perfect 10 time(s)

So I converted the same rectangle to lines and shortened up the end and bottom a bit – and then tried that. Perfect on 1 time(s). Same problem on 10 time(s) – rotation point is not the rotation point I clicked on.

I loaded my test RealCADD file on to http://whisstock.com/rotating.rcad

Perhaps you could take a look and see what's happening?

Best

George

I just realized that it's no good loading the file on to whisstock.com as it will open as a text file!

I will email the file to you!

:D

Bonjour George,

Yes, it is a bug.

Can you download and try this version : http://adx-online.com/RealCADD431.zip ?
