Aside from the clone, other, and fictitious ( Is it fiction if its real? ) parts questions, I began reading to LCAD discussion mainly because of LDRAW. The fact that LDRAW and LEGO interests functioned together pleased me to no end, but I really (...) (26 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Right. In the LDraw parts library, these multi-version parts are (typically) designated by appending a version-letter to the part's filename. The mini-figure heads are a good example of this. 3626A.dat is the original solid-stud head. (...) (26 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
