translate() Seems to Get Axes Mixed Up

[jmwright]

When I run the following code, the part is translated along the Y-axis instead of the X-axis. Am I missing something similar to toLocalCoords?

step_location = '/home/jwright/Documents/Projects/Switch/vendor/SS_01GL_E.step'
self.elec_switch = importers.importStep(step_location)
self.elec_switch = self.elec_switch.combine().translate((10, 0, 0))

If I do the following in FreeCAD, the part is translated properly along the X-axis.

new_part = Part.read('/home/jwright/Documents/Projects/Switch/vendor/SS_01GL_E.step')
new_part.translate((10, 0, 0))

CQ's translate seems to use FreeCAD's translate under the hood, so I'm not sure where this swapping of axes is coming from.

Off hand I don't know. I'll have a look when I get a chance (probably
tonight)

I was calling translate and then rotate on a solid. If I reverse it so that translate is called after rotate this problem goes away.
