I've updated my plugin. It now handles ribbed hoses and flexible axles as well. I also added the various values used in curve generation at the bottom of the curve. It can be downloaded at the same spot: (URL) usual, all comments are welcome. -Orion (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad)

Hello Orion, Your plugin looks promising, but unfortunately doesn't work on my holidays laptop (Pentium 233 under Windows2000). - The name of the plugin is listed as "C:\LDdesignpad\LDde...gnpad.exe" - when I launch it, it bombs with the message (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Orion, Your LDDesignPad plugin for flexible parts is absolutely great! Can precision be limited to 2 digits? Two digits would be more than enough for me. Thanks Orion and Carsten Schmitz, Damien (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) This an easy fix. Consider it done. The perfectionist in me had the precision at 4 digits originally and I grudingly went to 3 but I guess 2 is all that is needed. -Orion (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad)

OK, I created a hose with part 750. With this plugin for LDDP I see no hose, although the secments 754 are there. Emacs created a nice hose for me. The files look the same... What could be wrong here? Greetingz... Sjaacko "Orion Pobursky" (...) (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That's really wierd. It uses decimal points on both my machines. The problem may be due to your Windows regional settings if you are in Europe ( I think some European nations used the comma as a decimal separator). -Orion (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad)
