I have noticed recently that some printed parts have edges around all • the
printed bits.

For example, look at 3010p06.dat.  This is a 1x4 with stripes on one • side.
But between each red stripe and its neighboring bgcolor stripe, there is • a
light-red line.  At first I thought this was totally unnecessary.  As I
thought about it, I realized that it would sorta make sense if the part
itself were red- you'd be able to see where the divisions are.  Then I
thought some more and realized that was silly.  Then again, when you • rotate
the part in MLCAD the lines show up and it looks kind of cool.  But that
seems like a weak reason to keep them in.  Or is this something done to • help
align the parts during development that just didn't get removed?

So I figured I'd ask here.  From my spelunking around the parts • directory,
it seems that such lines aren't usually part of a printed piece... or • are
they and I've been looking at the wrong ones?

So the question is: Should I include such lines in printed pieces?


No.  Edgelines should only be used for:  edges.
