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 good.

For transformation matrixes, more decimal places may be called for. For instance, rotating by 45 degrees gives lovely irrational values, and using 5 places does make a small-but-noticable difference in the results.

   First, I layed out a set of 4 T2s along each of the symetrical curved and sloped edges. As objects, one could layout one side and call a symetry function to set the other side.

What is the meaning of T2?

You might want to look into LDScript. This is scripting language that offers a number of reflection features.

(...) 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)
