Looking at some of the files generated using the new curve generator LDDesignPad plugin by Orion (as well as files generated by the EMacs macro it is based on), I noticed a problem when displaying with LDView (which might also effect L3P output).

Does anyone remember with certainty why part file 3650a.dat was released with the 'a' suffix? The part came out in update 98-10, and hasn't been touched since. There's no 3650.dat or 3650b.dat, as far as I can tell. Steve (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I've seen a bunch of models out there that use the Mindstorms parts (e.g. the RCX) but I can't seem to find them in the Ldraw site files. Where do I get the parts files for Mindstorms?
