[GPlates-discuss] Avoiding plates rotating between defined ages

[Bruce Eglington]

Hi Sabin
  Thanks, that solves it. What a relief to not have to try to add all manner
of extra poles.

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
