Type 2 lines should not be used to outline the decorated areas on printed
parts, so their use in 3010p06 is incorrect.
To improve the look of the part when rendered by some of the older LCAD
software, it is acceptable to define type 2 lines along the centre on _narrow_
quads - this stops the blurring of adjacent colours obscuring the pattern.
Apart from this they should only be used for edges - they should not be used to
define fine detailed patterning.
