(...) Strange, because I copied this from the other patterned parts 649p01, 649p02 and 81294. This problem occurs here too. I do not think, however that this is very disturbing? Ortherwise it should be corrected. I will try and take a look at this (...) (20 years ago, 3-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Jaco! The top corner of the red frame is somehow misaligned comparing to the rounded top corner of the s\649s01.dat. With high zoom factor it can be easily noticed. Otherwise the granularity of the pattern is sufficient. Bye Ampi (20 years ago, 3-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Shouldn't it be a forward slash (s/6898s01.dat)? Parts use forward slash in the actual part code (which is good, because it makes viewers in other operating systems slightly easier to make). --Travis (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
