    Re: Subfiles - Question —Chris Dee
   (...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
   
        Re: Subfiles - Question —Bernd Broich
      (...) Right, but what I want to say is that if the filesize is to big the file needs a lot of time to render. When this is splitted into subfiles the renderer only needs to read smaller subfile. This saves rendertime. Bernd (22 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

If you think that INLINING is a better solution, how can this be (...) (22 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
   
        Re: Subfiles - Question —Steve Bliss
   (...) Inlining is replacing a reference to a subfile with the code from that file. So if I had a part file, which had the line: 1 1 10 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stud.dat and I "inlined" the stud.dat, my one line would be replaced with: 1 1 10 0 0 6 0 0 (...)
