Are we sure that *all* LCad software are able to handle numbers (>-1 && <1 && !=0) with the first zero omitted? Seems like this new format standard has been introduced without any discussion (that at least I have seen). /Tore (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I disagree with this idea. Fixed parts can have subtle changes to them that may affect the parent part. In other words, part fixes are essentially new parts meant to replace the old parts. -Orion (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
