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

Any comment welcome.

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 has to be made and this could be rotated in the
mainfile around 90 degrees.

hope that helps

Bernd

(...) But remember that file size is only a consideration if it makes a difference to the total number of disk clusters it uses. If your disk is formatted to have 4Kb clusters each file takes 4Kb. One 4095byte file containing inlined code will use 1 (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Why not 8 subparts? There are 8 symmetric sections in this part. If you're going to use subfiles to reduce the overall datasize, go all the way. :) Unfortunately, cutting out a 1/8 slice of the part might force some unnatural cuts. If this is (...)
