The bad news is that LDAO simply replaces the old part number with the
new part number.  It should be doing an inline operation.

Huh?  What do you mean by inline operation?

If part 1234.dat was ~Moved to 5678.dat, when LDAO updates
1 16 0 0 0  1 0 0  0 1 0  0 0 1 1234.dat
it shouldn't just cut out the 1234 and paste in 5678.  It should inline
this line (skipping any comment lines, of course).  This would have the
effect of grabbing the actual short-cut reference out of 1234.dat.

Something is just not clicking in my noggin.  It seems to me that all you
would want to replace would be the filename.
Are you saying that the mover should grab the _entire_ line:
1 16 0 0 0  1 0 0  0 1 0  0 0 1 5678.dat
from the ~Moved to file, and paste that entire line in place of the
reference to 1234.dat in the model?

But if that is what you propose, it would screw things up.  If my model has
a line like:
1 0 234 16 -46  1 0 0  0 1 0  0 0 1 1234.dat
I would not want that line to be changed to:
1 16 0 0 0  1 0 0  0 1 0  0 0 1 5678.dat

Now tell me what I am misunderstanding.

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 problem.
