(...) I added "Utensil" specifically so that these will be sorted (when sorted by "Description") next to each other. As a comparison, look at all the "Minifig Tool"[s] there are... Franklin (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) As this piece has been used in town sets as loudspeakers, also add some keywords appropriate keywords. Mabie it would be even better to change the name to Brick 1 x 1 with Plate and Cones? (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

In reference to the following... 3963.DAT Old Name: "Space Positioning Rockets" New Name: "Brick 1 x 1 with Plate and Positioning Rockets" I think the size should be either 1 x 2 due to the plate, or 3 x 3 since that is the actual size.

  Re: POV difference in LDraw?
 
Well.... I'm making AutoCAD blocks of all the pieces, so that if it has been "created in memory" from before, I just insert it at the apropriate place (x y and z from the dat file). So far, so good. Now... I need to Rotate/Scale it.... To do this in (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You're right, it doesn't save a file, but it only seems to be a problem with the ldlite parser.

Very cool! I noticed two things, which could be considered problems. One is straight-forward, the other is not so.
