Cable mess

<div class="IPBDescription">NIIIIIIIARGH</div>So yeah, I am making this room, neat 'n all. But it seems that some cables are just tossing around with me. Especially the small ones with bends <i>(generic_cablemods_01_bend etc)</i> It seems that if I rotate them, they go off grid. Further when I then move them, they rotate 180 each time I move them. In the end all this mess cause them to not lign up properly, and in terms that makes it look really bad. At ocasions you can get away with 2 items not ligning up (usually not though) but at this little scale it's so obvious it makes my eyes bleed tears of frustration.

Has anyone actually got these cables behaving somehow?

    Pretty much almost everthing has the wead flip rotation bug, annoyings as hell when moving things that have been rotated to a certain angle.

    Perform a move action without actuall moving the model on the grid and it will flip back on the spot.

    Yeah I try to do that, but dont you have issues of it lining up properly? I had an odd shape I needed to 'wite my self around' which required some bends, but in the end I had to drop it because they just wouldn't fit to each other after being rotated. 9/10 times when the rotation bug happens it throws the object off-grid. I ended up just making a mess of wires and breaking the shizzle up instead of having neat wires +.+

    I ran into this and used some small props to look like recepticles to start or end or just left them hang, not the best eye candy but it worked for me at the time.
