took me a while to notice this thread (since I just subscribed to cad.dev),
but here's my comments.

Has anyone taken on the task of building a master list of part numbers ?

I've found several lists so far (dan boger's at peeron.com, lutz uhlmann's,
lugnet partsref, etc). Each of these contains a large overlap, but none is
complete (or as complete as possible outside of TLC).

that's actually Jennifer's list, with me helping to update it... and it
is updated almost daily...  we combined it from a few lists I found on
some sites, but I have no idea where - I havn't been able to find any of
them since.


Yesterday I tried to make my own list, starting with the file from peeron.com. I
merged in some entries from lutz uhlmann's, added ones I have found myself, and
did a little cleanup from the parts tracker page. Now its up to about 2700
entries. What should I do with this ?

well, if that's the list you sent me, I'll defenitly try to merge it with
our list...  we'd love to have a list as complete as possible.  it's only
really used when we "standardise" contributed inventories, and when we
make our own...

Likewise, is there a reference list for the decorated part sub-numbers (xxxxPyy)
? I noticed large gaps in the Pyy numbers for some decorated parts.

the way we do decorated parts that have no ldraw number is just take the
base number and start going PPPPpxNN - with PPPP being the plain piece
number (if known), and NN is a sequental number...


Is there a roadmap for the 'X' numbers that I noticed on Dan's list ?

the xNN parts are just parts we couldn't find any number on, so we just
assign a temporary one for indexing only...  once we find an "official"
or "ldraw" number for the part, it's quite simple to replace all the xNN
with that number.

(...) It is the same. I'm still adding things to it as I come across numbers that are not present in the list. Might be a good idea to 'diff' the nxt version against the prev one to pick out the changes. (...) Cool. Ray (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
