(...) Ahh, the dreaded S-curve cylinder join rears it's ugly head again. I voted to ignore this a while back and gave my reasons. (URL) disagreed at the time. Don (21 years ago, 15-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) So the problem could be solved by using high res primitives? I'll have to try that out. (21 years ago, 16-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Is there a reason that the cylinder primitives haven't been updated to work like the sphere primitive? As long as there are type 5 lines on both ends of each partial cylinder, and the control point out in space is tangent to the cylinder (...)

(...) I don't think the S curve problem goes away. The tangent control point works perfectly for two (same radius) curves that both curl in the same direction. It also works perfectly for a curve joining a flat edge along the tangent. However it (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) That's what I was afraid of... That is not how I handled it in the program. So, now this should apply for any segment files, right? 1-16,1-8,3-16,1-4,7-48, etc?

So think that the same logic would apply to cones. Incidentally, I think the 1/8 (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, FTX)
