Hello everybody, I am new to this mailing list because I just installed LeoCAD 0.75 and found a accuracy problem.
When I rotate parts in LeoCAD (0.75) using the cursor keys I get odd angles (i.e. 89.999 degrees, I tried angle snap 5, 45, 90, ... degrees). Worst case happens when I rotate the part first 180 degrees and then a few times left/right - the error gets bigger and bigger. Rotating from base 0 degrees rotation left/right leads back to exactly 0 degrees... This effect causes misplaced parts especially when using additional relative movement. I draw technic models where often Technic pins have to be moved along Technic beams which are not horizontal or vertical. Then, these misplaced pins are references for the next inserted parts :-/ and so on... Has anybody else seen such a behaviour and an idea how to get rid of this? P.S.: I tried also to enter the angle 90° manually but it was replaced by 89.9802 (add piece, rotate 90° using the MODIFY dialog, hit apply, rotation still says 90 degrees, Edit->select nothing, select part again, rotation is now shown as 89.9802) P.S.: I use MLCad and used LeoCAD 0.74 too for saving MOCs for future. So I know the dis-/advantages of each system. Any hints how to combine these 2 systems would be very appreciated...
