Terry, do you remember this: (note: this is just an example, and has no
further status)
Suppose 70358 is a not_colour_specific number for the Electric Train Motor
part, and we decide to change the insertion point (that´s where 0,0,0 is) to
a another location.
Then I make a 70358.DAT file with the insertion point 8 LDU lower than it
was in the original 590.DAT file. 590.DAT would be changed into:
0 ~Moved to 70358
0 WRITE Part 513 moved to 70358
1 16 0 8 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 70358.dat
Suppose that in an old model file you have this line:
1 16 0 -24 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 590.dat
If you inline that "part" line the result would be:
1 16 0 -16 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 70358.dat
And this is exactly what we want to happen.
Greetings, Manfred Moolhuysen.

| (...) Sure do. I just did not make the mental connection between that idea and inlining parts during an "update parts" process. As I recall, updating of parts was the primary reason not to do this. Steve's idea for inlining the part would solve that (...) (27 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
