| (...) That sounds like a good idea, just because these parts are so basic. If the cheat sheet gets to be too big, then it should turn into a link to Patrick's catalog. Steve (25 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.faq)
| | | | | FAQ Size an issue? (Was: Microfig Borg Cube)

| (...) A link would be cool, but then again is size really an issue in a FAQ? For me, anyway, the bigger the FAQ the better, 'cause it gives me something to read on those long car trips. :-, Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.faq)

| | | | | Part number in FAQ (Lugnet or LDraw) (was Re: Microfig Borg Cube)
|
| (...) Bingo. Especially common part numbers which run in a sequence along with the size of related parts (like the 2x4, 2x3, 2x2, 2x1, 1x1 bricks are numbered in order from 3001 to 3005). I think Patrick's file has common, basic parts organized into (...) (25 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.faq)
