(...) L3Lab *assumes* the main file is BFC-able. That's a valid assumption for models (ie, files that just reference part-files). But it's not a valid assumption for parts and primitives. Steve (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Correct me of I'm wrong but I thought that if a part's main file wasn't BFC certified, any subfiles, including primitives, are not processed as being BFC'd (even if the subfile is BFC certified). -Orion (make it billthefish and remove the obvious (...)
