I’ve just created two test files, one with, one without part substitution,
The file without part sub works just fine. With the other file something goes
wrong. First of all, the wohle process last unusally long. And the images
rendered are really strange. the PL-Box is much to large, but don’t contains
the image for the turntable at all. I’ve forgot to mention that the turntable
is stored as a submodel, and this submodel should be displayed as a callout.
Maybay this causes the trouble.
Here are the pictures and the two mpd-files, where test2.mpd is with parts
sub, test1.mpd without.

I’m still working on this modell, slow, but sure..
I’ve found a solution for the above problem: I ‘created’ a dat-file for the
complete turntable. Well, ‘created’ is a bit exaggerated, I just ‘hacked’ the
both part-files via copy&paste to a new (really unoffical) file.
I’ve put this new file in the parts-dir and updated the partlist. I also updated
LPUB HALF-SIZE.LDR with this file. Now I could use the “LPUB PLI BEGIN SUB
color partname” comment to substitute both half of the turntable. Not a
perfect solution, but it works, at least in this specific case.
Well, now comes the tricky part of the BI: the hoses. I want to try the “LPUB
GROUP REMOVE” comment to manipulate the drawing of hoses, but got an error.
Due to the documetation, I used
LPUB GROUP REMOVE group12a
to remove the previous version of the hose. LPUB says “Syntax Error” and
displays this message:
Error: expected end of line, but got “GROUP12A” instead.
0 LPUB GROUP REMOVE “GROUP12A”
What is the exact syntax of this comment?
