Take a look at the real parts, it should have the number printed on
them. If you can't find it, take a look at the parts database, if it's
not there it will get a 3-digit temporary number.

More specifically, after you submit the part for inclusion in the L-CAD update,
we do some more research to try to find the 'correct' number.  If no number can
be found, the partfile will be given a 3-digit number.

For your own work, you can use any file name for the part.

If there is a reason that having a number is important, e-mail me at
partsref@worldnet.att.net with information about the part (description, image, %
complete, whatever) and we can deal with it on a case-by-case basis.

- are my parts able to become official parts, and what is submission procedure ?

After you finish working on them and you think that they are good
enough (as good as the other official parts), you should send the files
for voting. If they are approved, they will be added on the next update.

You can submit parts by e-mailing them to me at partsref@worldnet.att.net.  I
prefer attachments, but including the file-text in the message works (almost) as
well.  I haven't received (m)any in MPD format, but that would be a possibility.
If you are submitting several parts (possibly with subparts), ZIP'ing them isn't
a bad idea, either.

- how should i do to define type 5 optionnal lines ?

The FAQ has a good explanation, take a look and if you still have
questions feel free to ask. If your parts don't have any type 5 lines,
there's a big possibility that they aren't going to pass the voting.

It will probably pass voting if it doesn't *need* conditional lines. ;)

Also, search lugnet.cad.* for previous discussion of this topic.
