(...) My goodness, that was one massive scary part! I'm going to look that up and see how many lines it took! I would have chosen the click rotation joint. I figured I needed a very simple part to warm up. Talking about "not too far off", should I (...) (20 years ago, 20-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) I try to stick to whole numbers whenever possible, or tenths if I must. That helps keep file sizes down. Keep in mind that 1 LDU is already 1/64th of an inch, making 0.001 LDU 1/64000 of an inch! No part file needs that level of detail. The (...) (20 years ago, 22-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

I personally round off the numbers to 4 decimals, but I’ve been known to do crazy stuff like modelling in 1/100 (max zoom in mlcad) and use 1-24 parts of high res primitives from time to time. But I would suggest you to round off to (at least) two (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) Features wish list For the purpose of improved readability in LDAO, I thought of entering each vertex with 2 decimal places. Then I discovered the color-coded vertices in LDDP. It was better, but I still wish the vertices aligned in columns. (...) (20 years ago, 1-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) The general standard is to go up to 3 decimal places in part files. I agree, main vertices really don't need more than 1 or 2 places. For derived vertices, more precision may be require to keep everything aligned, so going out to 3 places is (...) (20 years ago, 1-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) T2 is my lazy way of abbreviating "Type 2". T4 = Type 4, etc. I will look into LDScript. Thanks! Edwin :-) Edwin (20 years ago, 2-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
