For the few number of lines involved, I'd look into just using direct lines &
polygons, rather than rect primitives.

A question for the more experienced part authors: Is it permitted to have lines (linetype 2) overlap, caused by adjecent primitives (e.g. two rect or rect and box primitives)? Niels (23 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
