(...) Probably. That's why I prefer the LDS way :) Also, with LDS you don't have to create separate source files. (...) I guess it would look something like the LDS Shell. An editor (like LDAO Editor) to the left and a rendering window to the (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

ACK! That's gonna be a toughie! Good luck. One of my little "secrets" is that I often "draw" the face in a two-dimensional image (i.e., Z = -13 for all points on this preliminary image), and then check the "Front View" box in MLCAD to make sure the (...)

(...) Interesting. I like the idea. One (semi-related) thought, though... *Where* are all these meta-statements documented? Is the location/URL of this documentation readily available to *new* (or forgetful) LCAD authors? Lately, I answered several (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

This is a proposal for a new meta-statement/header line for parts files. I'm hanging this off the pattern-id discussion, because it relates to patterned parts. The basic idea is this: right now, there are three ways to see if there is a relation (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

|

Just to let everyone know I'm tentatively starting the Darth Maul head, but as it's my first attempt at a part I'm going to wait until I've finished before sorting out the pattern number as I may not get chance to complete it. I've already done 1/4 (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Forward: I'd rather stick with using P as the patterned-element designator. Add letters to the suffix, to allow up to 1296 patterns per part. If this is not enough, then define another letter-designator in addition to the P. If we get 1500 patterns (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
