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 this:
0 CMDLINE -c57
...than this:
0 // This part is most often cast in Trans-Orange (color code 57)...
On the other hand, the latter may be of more obvious use to LDraw neophytes,
which is a good thing. But as long as we (authors) are granted *some* means of
documenting the default color of a part, I'm OK with that. (In other words, if
you insist on not letting me use CMDLINE, I would be grateful for the favor of
being allowed to use a more human-friendly comment, like the one above,
inreplacement of the CMDLINE, to document a fact I thought was worth
documenting. Thanks in advance.)
Thanks,
Franklin

As soon as the second colour is produced the dat file is (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
