hi kevin,
it's because I'm allergic to manuals and I’m usually in trail’n’error mode ;-))
but seriously, the problem I had with the flexible axle (and some others who
contacted me because of the MLCad/Lsynth tutorial) is the fact that the
synthesis comes without the end pieces. LS40.dat. the pneumatic hose gets
synthesised with ~technic flex-system hose end pieces; the flex-axle just with
axle.dat. one starts to believe he has to use the axle end piece instead of the
constraints. in order to get rid of this logical ambiguity I suggest once more
to move all parts used for synthesises to the \s folder an leave just the
LS00.dat in \parts (beside adding the LS40.dat to the synthesis if this is
possible).
