[GPlates-discuss] Avoiding plates rotating between defined ages

[Sabin Zahirovic]

Hi Bruce,

You should do one quick test before you go into your model. Install
GPlates 1.2 (the latest version) available from www.gplates.org because
I'm pretty sure there was a bug fix for that kind of behaviour implemented
late last year in an unreleased version. If this does not work, then let
me know and I'll guide you through the manual steps of editing your
rotation file to avoid this problem.

Cheers,
Sabin
