Ugg... I know I am over my head in stuff to do, but here we go with another idea: I have been thinking about things like the OMR and parts creation and their eventual places on ldraw.org. It is clear that these things will need their own help (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | Re: Parts with odd angles
|

Wouldn't it at least make sense to put the angle in the description where possible? Most new LDrawers probably wouldn't think (or know how) to look in the part header. Just adding "15Deg" wouldn't make most part names too long. Here's a radical (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Put it in a separate text file, too. That way it can be printed out, and one never has to ALT-Tab into LDAO to find the angle. Jeff (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Good point, Fredrik. I don't see putting the angle in the actual description line (due to space constraints), but it would be possible to at least add it into the file for reference. Perhaps put it into the "KEYWORDS" statement, then it would at (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Parts with odd angles

I've recently had some trouble using parts which use some odd angles. I'll give some examples: o When using the 2904.DAT "Technic Motorcycle Pivot", one needs to find out the angle of the pivot (15°) before it is at all useable. I found the angle by (...)
