I'm a bit unsure about it's orientation, though.  Perhaps it could
benefit from having the same orientation and origin as "32039 Technic
Connector with Axlehole" and "3651 Technic Connector"?  The part does
have much in common with the latter parts, so a common orientatin may
be in place.

What do other people think?  I know that the part was originaly used
to change gears, and with this in mind, the orientation Marc Klein
used is pretty much appropriate.  But the part has recently been used
for other things as well, eg in the sets 8001, 8002 and 8459.

I agree with you Fredrik, but to modelise this part, I used the same orientation as in the mockup made by Jonathan
Wilson. Changing this orientation will change the models using this part.
So could we change the orientation of a part if the mockup was oriented diffenrently ?
What do other people think about that ?
Are they many models using the 6641.dat mockup file ?
If the answer to that question is no, I think that we could quietly change the orientation of the Changeover Catch.

(...) In my opinion, mock-ups and unofficial parts as just that: unofficial. People using them should know that the orientation and origin may change when (if) the parts become official. So I think it is safe to change the orientation of your part (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
