  New part: Plate 6 x 6 x 2/3 Cross with Dome - 30303.dat  [DAT]
 
Here it is, 30303.dat, I believe it to be done, ready for critique. Let me know what you think. I have been asked by several people what is my next part... I believe my next part is going to be # 30211, unless someone else has started it. Paul 0 (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Did you reach any conclusions as to wether the 1x2 plate is connected at a 90° angle or not? I seem to remember this discussion earlier on, but cannot remember what the conclusion was. Fredrik (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) In this case, that's about all that can be done. The area to be plotted isn't a clean section of a cylinder, so you can't use the sloped cylinder primitives to fill part/most of the surface. Steve (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
