    ~Use and ~Moved —Jindrich Kubec
   Hi, could anybody explain these? For example 44237 is valid mold number for 'new' Brick 2 x 6. I don't know what are differences to 2456 and I don't care much. For inventory purposes the number 44237 is important, I think. So why '~Use' - why it (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

     (...) I think I'm missing something here. I downloaded 44237 from the PT and couldn't find "~Use" anywhere. In fact, I don't think I've seen "~Use" in official part files. -Orion (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

        Re: ~Use and ~Moved —Steve Bliss
   (...) No big deal. :) Peeron uses ~Use tags, LDraw doesn't. (...) I feel that it's unlikely that all fans are going to change their behaviour/data whenever TLC makes a switch.

        Re: ~Use and ~Moved —Jindrich Kubec
   (...) But I just don't think there is a need to some big changes. For example LEGO's internal taxonomy is simply horrid (AFAIK). (...) Hm, I don't think so. For example some set references 44237 and I don't have any 44237... Does that mean I can (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
