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 line with the lines in the file the type 1 is
reffering to (and placing the quads and triangels and whatever at the right
coordinates). I did miss such a tool to insert the teeth on the bucket, so I
did it by hand :) (hooray for Emacs:))

Yep, did that in my lo-res version, and will do it too in the hi-res version,
now that I have the 1-8cyli (thank you very much btw.)
Thank you very much for the help. I will propably return later with some
quiestions on the type 5 lines, but I'll wait with that till later.
Have any of you seen the unfinished version of the 2951 I posted to
cad.dat.parts earlier? If so what do you think so far?
Sincerely
John Jensen
