| | Patterns as subparts?
|
|
I was thinking that certain patterns that are used often on many diferent pieces could be made into subparts. Something like the clasic space pattern (p90?) could be turned into a subpart and given a name coresponding to the pattern number. (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
