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. May
I assume your axles were not generated with LSynth? Is this because of the
failings of LSynth with regard to true length, and inefficient use of primitives
and part?
As you know I've started to work on LSynth again. True length is one of the
issues that needs to be solved.
Kevin

| (...) 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)
