Can anyone else confirm or refute this problem? Not that I disbelieve what
Joachim is seeing, just that I cannot reproduce it, nor see the problem in
the DAT file. Maybe it is a renderer problem, or a problem in the upload.
I want to fix this if it really is a problem, but need a bit more
information before I can.

I put a screen-shoot at http://shadow-corner.ows.es/images/wappen.jpg that
is made out of mlcad 1.8

Ciao,
   Joachim.

Thanks a lot Joachim. This is the info I needed. I'll take another look ...
and maybe I need to download a more recent version of MLCAD (I'm still on 1.4).

Chris

This is VERY strange, and now does look like a bug in MLCad 1.8 (any chance
you could take a look Mike)

The offending line is
4 16 4 21 -10 7 21 -10 4 23.5 -10 3 22 -10

which MLCad 1.8 thinks is a bowtie, but rotating the points (1234 to 4123)
solves the problem, viz

4 16 3 22 -10 4 21 -10 7 21 -10 4 23.5 -10

It is not a bowtie which would require exchanging points to fix, and L3Lab
and LDLite render it OK. I'll change it when I submit the parts for voting,
but I'd like to get to the cause of this to avoid spending too much time on
unnecessary _corrections_.

Chris

(...) Communicating with Michael privately, it looks like he has found the bug, and hopes to fix it in a future release. Chris (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
