(...) That is my opinion. The programs should be changed, rather than the parts. One thing to consider: even if we 'fix' all the part files so that all studs render non-mirrored logos, mirrored logos can still occur. For example, if someone created (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm not going to comment on the actual question, but I want to make it clear that LDView should NOT display the logo mirrored, ever. It automatically detects that the stud has been mirrored, and mirrors the logo back to its correct (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Good summation. My preference is 1... a sufficiently clever convertor could perhaps detect this rotation and use rotated versions of the studs that it substitutes somehow in a preprocess step??? If there is a way to do 2 (perhaps with a (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
