Problem Rotating Objects I have a Problem when I want to rotate an Object on other Axis different from X. Is it possible? on Cura software I can do it very easily, but on Slic3r I don't know how to do.

There are definitely occasions where you would want to print a mirrored object. A pair of ornaments to put at each end of a shelf or use as bookends, for example.

In most cad software there is only rotate on any axis, and mirror on any axis. All bases are covered.

I suppose it doesn't matter once you know that flip means mirror and not simply flip over.
It's one of those command mistakes you only make once and lesson learned!]]> lumen Slic3r Tue, 24 Feb 2015 23:04:56 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474026,475025#msg-475025 Re: Problem Rotating Objects https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474026,475025#msg-475025

Some mathematicians use "flip" as a synonym for "reflection".

Usually if one flips a part over the same part will be printed only from a different direction.

Because the rotate command will flip the part if rotated in X or Y axis I think the Flip should be changed to mirror to be percise on the real action involved.]]> lumen Slic3r Mon, 23 Feb 2015 22:15:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474026,474610#msg-474610 Re: Problem Rotating Objects https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474026,474610#msg-474610

Rightclick object and select rotate->axe

before you express annoyance with missing functionality generally you should at least have checked the manual or FAQ as a credit to the developer:-)

Thankyou for pointing that out. It appears to be new feature in version 1.2.6 (as is the ability to right-click on the object in general) so forgive me for stating what has been the case until very recently. Good that the developers eventually recognised the annoyance and have done something about it. Few people read the latest version of a manual after upgrading to a newer release - with a new release of at least one application coming out at the rate of around one a day, that would be a full-time job!
