  Re: New Part: x192.dat - Minifig Shield Round
 
When I downloaded this part, I can see that Lugnet's DAT download truncated the lines to 80 characters. This totally mangled the part. Is this a weakness of the Lugnet interface, or is it enforcing a standard? In other words, are part file lines (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) This is not an easy piece to begin with. You have the right to be proud. Great job! (...) Does it say LEGO inside the stud? If so, you should use the stud2.dat primitive. /Tore (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) It's a weakness of the posting method (the file came in via email). I believe the line-wrapping was performed by Willy's email software. I recommend that all DAT content be posted via LUGNET's web interface, to avoid this line-wrapping issue. (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Assuming some reasonable limit on the size of a number in digits (say 20 total including before and after the decimal place, that allows a very big and pretty precise number) isn't there sort of an upper bound on the line length likely to be (...)

Yes It does, but the problem is that I can't use a regular primitve 'cos the inner cylinder is 0,3 mm deeper than the cylinder on the outside. (...) (...)

(...) Sure, that's possible. But by the time you get to a theoretical upper bound, you're way past the practical upper bound. So I'm not sure what the practical benefit would be. Steve (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: New Part: x192.dat - Minifig Shield Round
 
(...) Hmm. That would look a little weird, to have LEGO floating slightly above the surface. It wouldn't *really* be noticeable, but still... I'd be inclined to ignore the slight indentation, and model the part as if the inside was the same height (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Willy: Might you post a "cleaner" version of this file? Without the wrapping lines... Thanks, Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

here is the fixed and I hope unwrapped version of the minifig shield round. please notice that due to a request from ldraw.org the part number has changed from x192.dat to x194.dat I substituted the inlined stud with the stud2.dat primitive. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I'd've just made the entire 'flat' surface of the shield's front from a single 4-4disc.dat. (...) MLCad (or maybe Word) decided to use scientific notation for some very small numbers.
