Excellent post, Niels! :)

Note to parts authors: Parts without a logical sequence of objects (like an
onion with inner parts first and outer ones last so nothing gets in the way
of other) is a pain in the .. as they’re impossible to figure out, and DON’T
group all the lines in one section of the part making a mess of lines, but
keep them together with the planes they frame; then it’s possible to see what
belongs to each other and thereby what’s extra or missing. Cf.
x250 which is
very nice although it could do with some rect-substitution ;-)

To expand on this- it’s very good to keep edges grouped with polygons, but it’s
also nice (at least at the beginning of the file), to put the edges first.
Laying out the frame of the part makes it easier to see what the polygons are
filling in.
What else can part authors do to make things easier for reviewers?
One thing is: when you fix a file, don’t modify any lines that you aren’t
actually fixing! The PT’s version-compare tool is very handy, but it’s much
less useful when someone has compacted the whole file.

Furthermore have a suggestion that groups of reviewers team up to work with a
part, as a kind of “fast track” reviewing to keep the author “warmed up”. Is
there 3-4 volunteers that want to try it out?
|
That can be a very powerful way to work, especially for multi-file parts.
| |
And by the way; how many reviewers are there actually?
|
There are 42 users with reviewer privileges. Not all of these reviewers are
active.

| Well, running a bit back and forth in the file will give you a sense of the part just as well, and the you avoid starting out with a maze of lines: The biggest problem is that without the framing lines, the polygons is extremely difficult to figure (...)

| Hi Niels I think it’s really, really great that you whish to join the core. (hey guys, give him a hero’s welcome!) I myself haven’t been a reviewer for very long (or haven’t authored many parts yet for that sake) and isn’t particularly experienced, (...) (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
