Please expect some availability outages on the Parts Tracker in the next few days, as I begin work on the next parts update. I am not able to set any expectations as to the likely delivery date of 2003-03, as this will be the first time I have (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.announce) !

(...) I disagree with this idea. Fixed parts can have subtle changes to them that may affect the parent part. In other words, part fixes are essentially new parts meant to replace the old parts. -Orion (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | Primitive Generator program update
|
|
An updated Primitve Generator program is available. There have been several small changes, mostly unnoticable. The main reason for this relase is I noticed that edge/circle primitives were being created using color 16, It should have been 24. Added (...) (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

If I were doing the coding, I'd have difficulty in justifying spending the time needed to add this extra level of complexity to the PT, when what we are seeing is a _relatively_ (...)

I thought of another one, something I *know* I've mentioned before (in various discussions w/ Steve, off-line as well as here on LUGNet)... If a primitive or subfile that has *already* been released (i.e., the file is an **OFFICIAL** file), you (...) (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Sorry, Orion, but I wouldn't use this. If I want to communicate privately with someone, I'll use e-mail. If I don't have his e-mail address, or if I want to post a public, LEGO-related message, I'll use LUGNet. FWIW, I already have ~100kb of (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Generally parts only need to be authored to 3 decimal places. We decided on 4 DPs for the scalable primitives so that they could be scaled x10 without degrading the quality of the part. One could argue that p/48 primitves should be coded with (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) My understanding was that primitives should have 4 decimal places of accuracy. However, whether or not this is the case, I think that any decimal places that are included should be accurate including appropriate rounding. Just my 2 cents. (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
