I hadn't thought about applying stickers to rounded parts.

I know there is a lot of effort expended to make sure the parts
library stays backward compatible with the older programs that
are nolonger being developed. I think this is a good thing.

However, I think I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that
while new things definately shouldn't break older programs,
maybe they don't always have to work in the older programs.

What I'm thinking about is maybe these stickers (and possibly
new printed parts also) should be developed using textures.

Textures would really solve the sticker problem nicely. Even
for applying them to rounded surfaces. The only drawback is
that stickers couldn't be used in programs that weren't still
being developed. How much of a limitation is that?

Either way, a standardized Texture extension to the .DAT
format could be very useful.

In some cases, like attached to rounded surfaces, I think the only way is to solve the problem is to create a part-with-sticker file. A sticker could be attached in many more or less creative ways, and I think the modeller should have the freedom to (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
