<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I think I was having the same problem yesterday. However, I tried to solve it by setting the ObjectToParent transform using the image orientation and origin of the fixed image. It seemed to work, at least not all fixed image samples were outside the valid area. I did not have time to check if the results were correct. Do you think this is a valid work-around?<BR>

I think you are correct that image orientation is not used in the spatial<BR>
object.<BR>

Please file a bug following the procedure in:<BR>
