Hello Kevin, (...) Thanks, this time I got the updated documentation! I tried the command "0 LPUB STEP_NUMBER PLACEMENT BOTTOM_RIGHT ASSEM INSIDE", though it works fine for single step layouts, it is still ineffective when there are several steps (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I believe that your solution of multiple identical parts within the same begin/end is the correct solution. I'll make the PLI and BOM processes handle this case correctly. This way each instance gets its own placement and orientation. Kevin (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Thinking better (had a sleepless night ;o), this is not a solution. Multiple arrows generating multiple parts in bom/pli is not either: how the multiple submodels would get placed in the model (only one set of coordinates)? Philo (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

I am working on a part and I actually need something like a 1-8tang primitive, but the current 1-8tang on the PT has 3 hold votes. This part hasn't been changed since december last year.
