Yup, I realised that. The lsynth header allows you to specify the hose
length (even though it currently isn't used) so I'm assuming the Kevin
Clague will implement this at some point, and if he does then lsynth will do
exactly as you request with the start and end constraints specifying the
start and end position and orientations of the hose.

| Jennifer, You are using and old verion of LSynth where the length is provided. Version 2.0 has it removed, because it was not used. Orion, I agree completely on wanting a length control. I also want lsynth to somehow understand hose rigidity (I (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
