Need help with axes

[AndyBristow]

Hi

I have the following problem and wondered if anyone could help.

The final goal is to export an object into 3ds file format with a specific axis convention, which is :
-x to the right of the object,
-y toward the front of the object, and
-z up.

But in AC3D, I can't seem to be able to change axis orientations which are by default :
- x to the right
- y up
- z backward

Is it possible to change axis orientations? Otherwise, is it possible to obtain a
3DS file with the correct orientation?

thanks for any help

Andy
