Just to refresh my memory ( I haven't done any parts since 2951) The
48 primitives divide a circle in 48 straight lines, right? That would
for a 60 LDU diameter mean that each straight line is approx 4 LDU's
long, so using coneshapes each 4 LDU long would yield approx the same
resolution lengthwise as diameterwise, right? That's only about 40
cones, so maybe I'll go with 2 LDU.
As for the screwshape, i plan to embed it slightly into the body in
order to avoid "holes". I'll create a program that does the math and
writes the lines for me.

| (...) I do not understand correctly what you are saying. If you use a cone primitive you can stretch it in all direction. There is no need to use "about 40 cones". A maximum of 10 should do the same! You should use for this the program "cones and (...) (16 years ago, 12-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
