A while ago there was a discussion about user definable searchpaths for parts. In meanwhile MLCad uses this, but how about other programs like L3P? I am using several unofficial files, but I don't want to mess up the P and PARTS folders. Niels (20 years ago, 25-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad)

Michael, I recently noticed a couple of things in the newest version of MLCad, which behave differently from the previous versions. I hope you'll consider changing these back to the way they behaved previously. I was working with a file that had a (...) (20 years ago, 25-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) I mostly meant that I knew what their windings had to be (because of the way the edges are constructed), but the code isn't aware of it. However, like you say, it's easy enough to find an extreme point and test the winding. Steve (20 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)

(...) You lost me there. How could you not know which is which if they already go in the opposite direction? Just take a cross product at the topmost point. If it's negative, then it's clockwise and thus a hole. Don (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)

(...) OK. My edges already were counterclockwise. :) Umm, for inside outlines (inlines?) to be clockwise, that's 'clockwise' from a global view, right? If so, then my inlines are already clockwise.
