Getting the angle vectors ?

[donamy]

with the new "C" angle rotation, is there a way to get the vectors read out for use ?

Here's a quick hack that will display the axis at the bottom of the main AC3D window (in the message area).

-no warranty-

With a text editor, edit tcl/ac3d.tcl and find:

 
 
proc set_custom_axis { var } {

after:

set cent [ac3d get_selection_centre]

(and before the next "}", insert a line:

display_message "axis: $axis"

If you would like the axis to appear in the console, use:

puts "axis: $axis"

instead

I'm not sure if this would be useful to others - why do you want this info?

For finding rotation directions for attachment and docking points in Orbiter.

It works great, but is there a way to be able to copy it into clipboard ?

[Andy]

try this:

clipboard clear
clipboard append $axis

Thanks Andy !!
