Has this been suggested before:
I understand that altering a zero point or rotation orientation will break
models. But what if a new part were assigned at that time, and the old
number referenced the new number (with appropriate transformation to save
the old modes.) This would not be so bad in the case that we are not using a
Lego mold number (parts with no mold numbers, like minifig accessories.)
I'd like to discuss an open-source algorithm to automatically generate
helpful information on the actual zero point and orientation of existing
parts, as well as automatically compute optimal choices.
