| | LDView parts smoothing bug? [DAT]
|
|
Have a look at the attched file in LDView. Part 32190 smoothes correctly, part 30191 does not. Part 30190 is only a mirror image reference to part 30191 and both are in the PARTS directory. Is this a problem? -Orion 0 Panel Test 0 Name: (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
