 | | Question about DAT rendering
|
|
I've been toying around with a visual DAT editor/viewer for Mac OS X, and wanted to know if there is supposed to be any kind of guaranteed rendering order on commands within a DAT file. Obviously paying attention to STEP commands would be important, (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

After a growing amount of information which I wanted to put on my website, I reorganized the menu structure and made a few new pages.

Stupid question time. What's a recommended tool for checking (and correcting) winding? It's hard to tell if everything you lay down while making parts is CW or CCW and it's even harder if you're trying to review something. Is L3P what everyone uses? (...)

(...) When reasonable, yes, we should. If I make the Johnny Thunder face today, but don't make his torso for a couple of years, I wouldn't expect that the same pattern number will necessarily be available later. There are too many patterns for that. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
