I don't think that is necessary. Once an old model references a (...) (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) Sure. But I also feel that it would make sense for rendering programs to give the user control, so that clipping can be set to default to off, or default to on, or to be totally disabled. (...) If a certified part-file can turn clipping on, (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
