| | | This isn't a problem or anything, it just struck me as odd. I was browsing through the peeron inventories of the new Designer sets when I noticed that while the edge lines on most of the CAD rendered part pictures were black, some were rendered with (...)

| | | | (...) Well, it's like this -- some of the images are generated with black edges, and some of them are generated with colored edges. In most cases, I made deliberate choices about the color combinations. For example, the trans-colors mostly have (...) (21 years ago, 9-May-03, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.cad)

| | | | Hi Steve, Are all of the color numbers on this page correct? I saw the image for Sand Green ((URL) ) and realized that I have been using a custom color in one of my current cad projects.
