| (...) First of all, I like the idea of a unit capped cylinder. The stud could then be changed to a reference to the new primitive. We could use x-ycylc as the filenames and call the primitive Cylinder Capped. This would be consistent with the (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| (...) One concern about capped cylinders is that they would lead more multiples of cylinders - single-capped cylinders, double-capped cylinders, 1/4 capped cylinders, 2/4 capped cylinders, Hi-res 3/8 double-capped cylinders, etc. etc. And every (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| (...) I agree with you in all points. But if I see that also you are thinking that capped cylinders are useful maybe there is somebody out who can write a prog for that. I have tried something similar in the past and was not very happy with the (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
