I'm not a reviwer, so I have to post my issues here. Part 422 (URL) just confuses me. Why is is 422? It's the base part of 122c01 and 122c02; since the other component of those parts is part 20, wouldn't this part be 122? Also, the title is weird; (...)

(...) This part has a bad history. Originally 122.dat was used for the combo part of the base and the wheels. To maintain backward compatibility when this was changed to 122c01.dat, 122.dat became a "~Moved to" file. So now we cannot go back and use (...) (20 years ago, 9-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I've never seen it in Gold; I've *always* seen it in Silver. Which set contains one of these in Gold (or whatever other color)? Franklin (20 years ago, 9-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I personally think it would be worth leaving this as-is, because this part originally appeared in the 2002-03 parts update, but the gold version didn't come out until 2003. I wouldn't want to have to delete cmdline statements from official (...) (20 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Could we have a review/explanation of the use of CMDLINE again? (or a pointer to documentation). While I support not making unnecessary changes, I'm not sure I understand if this one is necessary or not. (20 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Basically the CMDLINE staement specifies a default color for the part. This is useful if the part only came in one color. I far as I know, no LDraw programs actually use this Meta command. -Orion (20 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Thanks. What would the downside be of, over time, as parts go through review and renewal anyway, gradually discontinuing the use of this command? It is not a large number of parts that use this anyway, right? ++Lar (20 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I would say that it's a good thing to leave them in. 2 reasons for this: - Once developers decide they want to support it, the implementation is aleady there. - To remove them would force all the parts that have the command to go thruogh PT (...)

(...) I've never used "CMDLINE -c" except under protest, and dislike its inherent obsolesence. One could argue that almost EVERY part occurs in only one colour the first time it is produced. As soon as the second colour is produced the dat file is (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Just a note: in this situation (which apparently is not actually the situation), this file should have used a tilde (~), not an underscore. Underscores are for "official part shortcuts", which are relatively rare creatures. Steve (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) The CMDLINE meta-statement was originally created to give us some way of giving rendering suggestions to programs that use the parts library. For instance, it was thought that we could specify a 180deg rotation for all those panel parts (like (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I like using the CMDLINE as a concise way of documenting the default (i.e., the *usual*, not necessarily the *only*) color of a part. The CMDLINE is usually shorter than the corresponding sentence. For example, for the Minifig Flame, I'd rather see (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I also think it really is a pity that it hasn't been used by any [online] catalog or other partlisters (that I (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
