Hi Stefan I don't know anything about neither optional lines or the programs you're converting from, but from a parts reviewers perspective, I'd say that the teapot.ldr looks pretty good. I wouldn't worry so much about automatic subpart generation. (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I'm implementing sorting in LDDP. Here's my question: Say I'm sorting by position using Y. When sorting linetypes 2-5 should I take the maximum Y, the minimum Y, the Y value of center of the triangle/quad/line, or something else entirely? -Orion (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
