[Gate-users] autorotation not working in ring repeater

[Lampros Theodorakis]

Hi,

An issue with the ring repeater in case anyone could help.
I create a trapezoid with an extruded box inside. The object is translated
and rotated, and then i use the ring repeater to repeat around z axes (all
is done to both trpd and box inside). The object is repeated but the
autorotate seems not to be working (pic1).
Strange thing is that when the object is repeated around the y axis, the
autorotate seems to follow correctly (pic2).
Gate v6.1

Thanks in advance,

Lampros
