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 (...)

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)

OK, folks. I've learned a lot since I first made this part, and now I have "fixed" everything (I think...). Now no subparts are required, and I removed the "no-no's" (type 2 lines outlining the patterns). This part is just an ordinary .dat file now, (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
