  Re: Sticker background color (request to Standards Committee)
 
(...) I agree usage of color 16 for the box should be left to the part author. But the thing I'm thinking of is in daily use this will cause the sticker to be used in a non 'real' way. I mean you would like to have the option but by default it (...) (14 years ago, 31-Jan-11, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Sticker background color (request to Standards Committee)

(...) Snip Do you have an idea how that should work? The only thing I can imagine is that the whole library has to be made for that case as there are maybe references that has more than 8.3 filenames. And the result could not be shown on other (...)
