But if you have something besides Strut between the two Strut, it doesn't work.
1 71 30 -70 -50 0.66913 -0.743145 0 0.743145 0.669131 0 0 0 1 Strut
1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 foo.dat
1 71 -30 -70 -50 0.66913 0.743145 0 -0.743145 0.66913 0 0 0 1 Strut
ends up as:
0 !LPUB CALLOUT BEGIN
1 71 30 -70 -50 0.66913 -0.743145 0 0.743145 0.669131 0 0 0 1 Strut
0 !LPUB CALLOUT END
1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 foo.dat
1 71 -30 -70 -50 0.66913 0.743145 0 -0.743145 0.66913 0 0 0 1 Strut
This has been changed so that if foo.dat is not a submodel, it is ignored.
So "Convert to Callout" looks forward and backward in the file to find
a) more Struts that are not mirrored
increment instance count
b) Struts that are mirrored
These stop LPub from searching current direction
c) new submodel not of type Strut
These stop LPub from searching current direction
d) non-submodel (e.g. library parts)
These are ignored.

This is a great video.

| (...) It is. LPub should do so automatically when you create a callout of a submodel used multiple times in one step. The callout begin/end meta commands surround both references. For example: 0 !LPUB CALLOUT BEGIN 1 71 30 -70 -50 0.66913 -0.743145 (...) (16 years ago, 29-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
