    LPub request —Orion Pobursky
   I was trying to get a BOM for a model I did and LPub give me a file not found in the Parts.lst eror and quits. The particutlar error was the s/faxle parts used for the flexible axles. Here's my request: If Lpub detects s/faxle1 though s/faxle5, then (...) (21 years ago, 18-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: LPub request —Kevin L. Clague
     (...) Hi Orion, I recommend that you put a PLIST BEGIN IGN before the s/faxle1 and PLIST END after each s/faxle1. LPub will ignore these parts and not give you an error. Even better, create a stright version of the xale in a seperate dat and use (...) (21 years ago, 18-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: LPub request —Orion Pobursky
     (...) OK, I used the PLIST BEGIN command and I'm still getting the s/faxle1.dat not found in the PARTS.LST file error. I think (but haven't tried) that this problem will exist for any model that uses file from the /S directory. -Orion (21 years ago, 20-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

         Re: LPub request —Orion Pobursky
     (...) Even with the PLIST command, I still get a part not in PARTS.LST error unless I turn off the file checking. Here the example: 0 Test Axle 0 Name: Taxle.dat 0 Author: Orion Pobursky 0 Unofficial Model 0 PLIST BEGIN SUB 32199.dat 1 7 -30 -110 (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: LPub request —Kevin L. Clague
     Hi Orion, Why do we need to have the s\ in the DAT file? I'm probably showing my part definition ignorance here. Is it because LDraw does not know to look in s\? I'll fix the bug in LPub either way. Kevin (...) <snip> (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: LPub request —Orion Pobursky
     (...) The short answer to your question is yes. Ldraw only looks in the PARTS, P, MODELS, or current folder. Two extension folders have been added to faciltate further separation: the PARTS/S folder is for subparts used by parts in the PARTS folder (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: LPub request —Kevin L. Clague
     (...) I've modified LPub to ignore submodel parts as well as primitives when making PLIs and BOMs. To address your request more specifically... LPub would have to look for pairs of s/faxel1 through s/faxle5 and automatically substitute. I'd prefer (...) (21 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: LPub request —Kevin L. Clague
     (...) Hi Orion, I never got feedback from you about the PLIST BEGIN SUB solution outlined above. LPub recognizes parts synthesized with LSynth and tries to determine the part being synthesized. It recognizes flexible axles and determines the length. (...) (20 years ago, 4-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: LPub request —Orion Pobursky
     (...) The PLIST BEGIN SUB meta solution is fine. My problem was due to a lack of knowledge regarding LPub META commands. -Orion (20 years ago, 4-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: LPub request —Kevin L. Clague
   (...) I'm adding support for s and 48 in lieu of the pathing solution Lars' will be providing. If your flexible axle is produced by some known tool, I'm willing to add supprt for flex axle recognition to LPub. Orion, could you email an example? (...)
