(...) This takes a lot of getting used to. The problem is that when you rotate the plate 90 degrees, the arrow keys continue to work as though it was stud up - left moves it 1/2 stud left, up moves 1/2 stud back etc, instead of 1 plate or whatever (...) (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That doesn't mean dithered colours cannot be used in a part, just that any area that requires such should be devolved into a subpart. There are plenty of examples of this technique in the official library - e.g. 973p39.dat Chris (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
