As some of you may have noticed, I have had some problems making my 2951
behave.
Out of frustration I made some changes to the hi-res 1-8disc.dat, and lo and
behold, suddenly everything worked.
Now, the weird thing is that there was nothing wrong with 1-8disc. It was made
with type 4 lines, where the low-res version was made with type 3 lines, but
if you think about it, it makes perfect sence, you can do the 6 type 3 lines
with 3 type 4 lines.
Well, just out of desperation I substituted these 3 type 4 lines with 6 type 3
lines, and there it was, now everything looks quite nicely.

Here's the new 1-8disc.dat with the old lines commented out:

Can anyone please tell me why LDraw won't show the old version?
I even tried to make a "part" consisting of just one of theese, and it didn't
show up either?!?:)

Guess I'll mail the changes to Steve right away.

(...) ... (...) I tried a dummy part using 48\1-8disc.dat (the original) and it works fine on my system. Also, your most recent 2951.dat draws correctly on my system, both in LDLite and LDraw. I'm guessing there was a problem in the original (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
