Not sure how you were searching, but this primitive is used by plenty of parts
2400.dat
2554.dat
2865.dat
2871.dat
.....

The file is in the ldraw.org official library, but if you're trying to use the
URL like http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/p/box3#8.dat then you will fail
due to the special meaning of a # character in a URL to display the page from a
particular anchor. I don't even seem to be able to get around this by using
%23, so maybe there is no way to use this URL to access this particular
prinitive.

We should consider renaming this to get around this limitation. More programs and applets may start tring to access the files through URLS in the future. Who knows. -Kyle (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hm, it's possible that the search I used suffered from a similar problem to that of the URL. I stand corrected- thanks! -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
