  Re: number notation in official parts
 
(...) Hmm, I thought I killed that "feature". I'll look into it as I find time to finish up LDDP 2.1 -Orion (14 years ago, 11-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: number notation in official parts
 
(...) I mostly agree with this policy. (...) There is nothing strange in the routines, it is the standard format used to represent very large or very small numbers in a limited number of digits. Actually since values never get very large in LDraw (...) (14 years ago, 11-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: number notation in official parts
 
(...) My suggestion would be to read numbers in that notation but never write them. I'm not sure why LDDP would write them that way (it would require some strange output routines) but if one thing writes them then it's best to read them. Tim (14 years ago, 11-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: number notation in official parts
 
(...) I think it should be forbidden in official files as the benefit is very small and it is not good human readable. Benefit would be smaller filesize, as 0.0004 (6 characters) has more characters than 4E-4 (4 characters). Against could be 0.4 (3 (...) (14 years ago, 10-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: number notation in official parts
 
(...) Such notation is not noted in any specs.. neither allowed or forbidden. At least, I can't find such. Maybe we should bring this up at LSC at some point? (FWIW I sent this in yesterday but it seems the server ate the message.. resending it) (...) (14 years ago, 9-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  number notation in official parts
 
If I rotate a part in LDDP the result may look like this: 1 16 4E-15 4 -20 0 0 1 0 -1 0 -1 0 0 stud4.dat This can be read by LDView and MLCad as a valid number. Is such notation allowed in official parts? It is nowhere explicit allowed or (...) (14 years ago, 8-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  LDSwitch Sample #1: Do/Undo  [DAT]
 
Don't know if you prefer to make input here or at SourceForge, so I crosspost. Please give feedback where you like, here or at SF. Here's the first sample LDraw code snippet. Set the value of the variable Rev028_Changes to Do or Undo, run the (...) (14 years ago, 23-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  LDSwitch?
 
Is the name/keyword/META-command LDSwitch/!LDSWITCH free to use or is it taken? I think it's not taken (in the LCad context), so I wish to claim it if noone protests. /Tore (14 years ago, 23-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
