Hi,
When writing a new part, where should the 0,0,0 point be?
Is there some rule who say's that this should be somewhere, or could this be
any point.
The part i'm writing (9V Straight track [2865])has a Y range from -16 to 8
in other words, the 0,0,0 point is in the center of the middle 2x8 plate (the
one with the hole in it).
**-IF-** the 0,0,0 point has to be on TOP/CENTER of the part, how can i change
this without rewriting my 9 pages code?
Is it allowed to copy code from another part to use in a new part?
It's because i dont want to re-invent the wheel (or the hot water) ;)
Thats all for now.
P.S. if someone's interested in a preview [for a check on it - it's my verry
first try to write part(s)], i'll can send you the preliminary unofficial
2865.DAT file. It needs some work (95% reddy?)
regards,
Ludo
