    Re: File Naming Protocol for Patterned Parts —Chris Dee
   (...) Rather than the suggestion of using alpha characters, in the "pattern number", have we considered allowing other characters in the sixth position - so we allow nnnnnp00-nnnnnp99 nnnnnq00-nnnnnq99, nnnnnr00-nnnnnr99, etc as valid patterned part (...)

        Re: File Naming Protocol for Patterned Parts —Steve Bliss
     Forward: I'd rather stick with using P as the patterned-element designator. Add letters to the suffix, to allow up to 1296 patterns per part.

   This is a proposal for a new meta-statement/header line for parts files. I'm hanging this off the pattern-id discussion, because it relates to patterned parts. The basic idea is this: right now, there are three ways to see if there is a relation (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: File Naming Protocol for Patterned Parts —Franklin W. Cain
   (...) Interesting. I like the idea. One (semi-related) thought, though... *Where* are all these meta-statements documented? Is the location/URL of this documentation readily available to *new* (or forgetful) LCAD authors? Lately, I answered several (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
