Now I have SW2017 SP4.1 and at the first time I run my macro, I've found that I'm facing the same issue, RotateAboutAxis did not work.
I have checked my graphics card, started the machine in safe mode, and did many other things, but the macro did not work.
Then I accidentally right-clicked on the screen and found this item was checked:
And after I unchecked my macro works! Hurray!
I've searched the documentation, but I can not find a way to get/set this with Set-/GetUserPreferenceToggle.Or is there an other method for that?
