[Gate-users] source rotation using "attachTo" command

[山中 琢]

Thank you Marc,

This will explain my problem since I'm not using any movement but want to
simulate my geometry which requires the cylinder-shaped source facing the
X-axis.

So, this means that we still need to use these posrot to setup the source
with complex shape...
