Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad

Carsten and other Delphi programmers,

I wish I could make some calculations in my K'nex part files to bring them
all down to standard LDraw scale (right now they are much larger compared to
the Lego parts). I would like to multiply all the points in the primitives
files by 0.64. Might there be a way to automatically perform these
calculations on the existing points, while by passing colors and line types?
I could do it all manually, which would take a lot of time, but then again,
programming takes time too...

Thoughts?

Best regards,
--Ryan

(...) Make a one line file for each of them that scales by 0.64, and then use the inliner to pass the scale through to the part. eg. Make this: 1 16 0 0 0 0.64 0 0 0 0.64 0 0 0 0.64 knexpart.ldr Then run an inliner and save the results. (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You can do this with existing tools, here are a couple of ways. They're manual, but not as bad as doing it by hand.... 1. Open the file in Excel (or some other spreadsheet). Use formula cells to calculate the new component values. Replace the (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
