    Default Metal stud DB rotate issue

    I have the attached DB that I originally got from somewhere online (possibly right here even). I've made 1 change to it and that is to add a rotate action to it. I can't seem to get the rotate to work correctly. If I insert the block and adjust the size of the stud via the lookup and THEN rotate, all is well. But if I try to adjust the size after I've done the rotate, all kinds of things go wonky. Anyone of you gurus out there wanna help a man out?

    Thanks in advance.

    Aha. I see what I did wrong. I had all of the actions selected and you didn't. Cool. Now I can use this thing more efficiently, as planned.

    Thank you very much.
