(...) Yes indeed, that's a super-cool part. It's already in the clone library but not yet released. I'll have to check again when I get home, but your version seems more concise than mine!

For the next parts update I would like to suggest that 4-4con12.dat is deleted or its content is replaced by "0 Cone 1.0 Radius 12" Then we can state a template: 4-4conN.dat, like the 1-4conN.dat we already have. The following official files need (...) (22 years ago, 20-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)
