ROTATE_ABOUT manually specified location not working

Hi,
I'm getting the error:
WARNING: Unknown ROTATE_ABOUT value for EDIT_VECTOR command
when running the following command on the attached shapefile:
EDIT_VECTOR ROTATE_ANGLE=90 ROTATE_ABOUT="143.0,-39.0"
I've tried the predefined COMBINED_CENTER value for ROTATE_ABOUT which works fine, but I really need to rotate about a specified point.
Cheers,
Craig

Craig,
What version and build date of Global Mapper are you using? You might just need to get the latest build as the ROTATE_ABOUT parameter hasn't always been there. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper12.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v12.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v12 version there is a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper12_64bit.zip .
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the quick response. I was using the standard 12.01 64-bit on Windows 7. Same result with 12.01 32-bit on Windows XP.
I downloaded and tried the 030911 64-bit build and got the same error.

Craig,
I took a look and found a bug in the parsing of the ROTATE_ABOUT parameter. It was looking for a space delimiter rather than a comma between the fields. I fixed that and now it works fine. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper12.zip with the change for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v12.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v12 version there is a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper12_64bit.zip .
Or you can keep your existing build and replace the comma with a space. The new build supports a comma, semi-colon, space, or tab delimiter.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,
Mike
