Hello, I've been working on LD4DModeler 2 (on paper) tonight and i have a question regarding precision. The question is what is 'normal' to use for the amount of decimals that can be set by user interface controls. I was thinking 2 myself but if (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hi Stefan, don't get discouraged! I for one tried your converter (on a BBB part) here: (URL) I'd be interested to hear what the parts authors have to say, since we can directly compare the original DAT (converted with ?) and the "new" DAT (...)

I'd suggest that LS00.dat belongs in the PARTS directory because it's designed to be manipulated directly by the end user when creating a model file (much like a regular part, and unlike the files in the S subdir).
