Annoying isn't it?

It didn't take very long (only a couple of hours) to put all of the lines on
it. Then I checked it in MLCAD and L3Lab (1200%), and I saw that a chunk of
lines that would not show where they should and a few lines that would not
disappear. For the next 5 days (2 to 3 hours each day,)I worked on getting
them to show up in the right places. It works fairly well when you consider the
size it is going to be when people use this in a model.
If you were wondering how badly I screwed up the lines when I first put them
on the part; The strange thing was that I had done them all correctly... It
seems this Head has a "mind of its own".
So I am not going to working on it anymore, it drove me nuts enough already
(unless I begin to like it...)
