Hello,

Can someone tell me what the criteria is to create a subpart, instead of
copying the whole code and rotate it a few times?

I'm creating the 32087.dat file (see previous message or goto :
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=140697 ) and can tear the
main file into different subparts, but these subfiles can only be used in
this particular 32087 part. I use now 2 subparts, the 2865s04.dat (used in
the 2865.dat part - see parts tracker) and the 32087s01.dat (a new subpart
because of the use of color 383). I do have now 3602 lines of code in the
main file, and is 165 Kbyte long. So i guess it's wortht to split it up into
some subparts.
Any comment welcome.

Regards,
Ludo

The the following Lugnet post and the follow-on reply. I think it gives a pretty good discussion of subparts vs. inlineing. (URL) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) In general it's the symmetry, the file size or many repeating items of the part that makes sence to use subparts. In your case you can split it into 4 subparts, each one quarter of the file. So you could save filesize. e.g. only one track-end (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
