Scratch that! Just found the 1-3 primitives lurking in the p\48 directory DOH!!! (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| | 1-3 cyli, disc, edge - what's the best way?
|

I recently needed a set of 1-3 circular primitives (120 degrees) Before even addressing if these should be official primitives (as opposed to sub-parts), what do people consider the "best" way of constructing these? a) overlapping two 1-4 (or 3-16) (...)

(...) L3P cannot substitute a primitive it doesn't know, but the above mentioned 4-4cyl12.dat will be treated like any ordinary DAT file, and then the 4-4cyli.dat and the 4-4disc.dat will get substituted (the edges are not used in L3P). I'm not sure (...) (18 years ago, 23-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

[Lotsa snipping] (...) I'm fine with that. Taking up the issues Chris raised (but out of order): (...) I think we need to allow for partial rods. (...) It seems fair to limit rods to single-digit denominators. Since these are primarily convenience (...) (18 years ago, 17-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) We could use "rod" as a short base name for these. Do we need to allow for non-360 degree versions? I didn't see any requirements for partial cylinders in the thread so far. Was that implicit in the request? 1) If not, one would be to use a (...) (18 years ago, 17-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Since we've already got primitives like '5-24cyli.dat', I think it would be a good idea to restrict the suffix of the file name to 4 characters.

(...) I thought of that, but liked the idea of more descriptive names, like the rect*.dat series. The '1' would in this case stand for number of discs, and '2' for number of edges. But I could definifly live with cyla, cylb etc too. (...) Same here. (...) (18 years ago, 15-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

When two such primitives are adjacent, I always have to double-check which one includes the edge(s). (...) (...) (18 years ago, 15-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
