You know it is possible. There are many things to do, and I doubt this 
would get scheduled anytime soon.

In the mean time, is the busy cursor telling you that the system is 
*too* busy, that maybe this is too high of a burden. I don't know. 
After the initial rendering, can you spin and rotate the board without 
subsequent delay?


BTW, your resistor is "blue-tiful"! :-)
