(...) My individual opinion (as opposed to the consensus opinion of the admins) is in general, I'd prefer the idealized pattern.

(...) Hi Willy, In that case I would argue that the onus should be on the designer to choose whether or not to model the ideal or real pattern. If their part is a really weird one then it can be held but if all copies people can see are the same (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Yeah, tell me about it! Me and a friend made a mock-up of the sign for the Datsville post office: (URL) low-res picture shows just a little of the flaw, but the letter 'S' is just so wrong. We decided to let it reach below the other three (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I had the same argument with Steffen about part 3010pt6.dat (URL) I have a few of these bricks and all of them show the pattern slightly off-center. Also online pictures of this brick seem to be identical. Therefore I created the digital version of (...) (19 years ago, 15-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
