Orion,
I had not thought about this. This is consistant with Steve Bliss'
concern about putting out the synthesized parts in a seperate file so that
they can be cosidered one part by other LDRAW compatible programs.
I can see two issues here. The first is simply "what do I name this
external file?" I just have to figure out the specification for this issue.
The other issue is deeper. For electric cables, lsynth actually knows
nothing about the ends of the cables (rotation sensor, light sensor, 2x2
connectors.)
It only knows where the synthesized parts are. It seems counter intuitive
that the cable ends would be in one file and the cable middle is in a
different file. Maybe I'll just ignore this incongruity for now.
