    Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done) —John Jensen
   (...) (or (...) Hmmm wouldn't that be postponing the problems? If LEdit doesn't want to load it from a regular dat file, why should it load it from a dat file within a dat file? (hopefully you know what I mean) (...) Awaiting others opinion then:) (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done) —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) No, sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Perhaps I misunderstood the original question? You needed to rotate a part with name 48\1-4cyli.dat in LEdit, right, and LEdit choked on the filename? The rotation matrix should be the same no (...)

        Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done) —John Jensen
   (...) Ahh yes, but I also need to use the part that uses that primitive, and if LEdit won't load the primitive, then I can't use the part. Has noone ever used the \48\*.dat primitives? I count three in my directory, and if the policy is not to (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

      John Jensen <skurt@vip.cybercity.dk> wrote in message news:FoJ43u.Gu@lugnet.com... (...) LEdit will load the primitive, it just chokes on the filename being in its editor. When you use the part, the primitive's filename won't be in LEdit's editor. (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done) —Steve Bliss
   (...) Fredrick was suggesting that you can use the low-res version of primitive in your file, rotate the primitive to the proper orientation, and then (using a text editor) change the filename to include the 48\. LEdit does not choke on parts which (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done) —John Jensen
   (...) Uhhh I see:) Well that explains my problems then. (...) Hmm Why to the segment? Or is the vague idea I have about inlining completely wrong? I think of it as a tool to put an unofficial primitive into the part file, e.g. by replacing a type 1 (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done) —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) I think what Steve Bliss meant was to use inlining as a tool _only_ to find out where to put the polygon spanning the final 7° of the curve. You only need to temporarily inline the last curve segment and check the coordinates of the polygon on (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done) —John Jensen
   (...) hmm okay, I simply calculated the coordinates, sine and cosine relations are our friends:) (...) Yes I will really have to look in to that, I might require some help setting it up, the only time I touched my .emacs file was when installing (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done) —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) Sure, no problem. I prefer to inline and find the true coordinates of the polygons in the primitives, though. There may be some small rounding errors both in your sine calculations and in LEdit's, and if they don't match, you'll get small (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
