(...) For parts with unusual symmetries, I would suggest either (or both): 1. Make a subfile in parts\s with 1 segment of the part, then use that subfile as many times as you need. 2. Find a higher-level symmetry that is common with 16 or 48 (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

What is the general way of handling parts/primitives that have rotational symmetries other than 16 and 48? I am currently looking at reworking 73071 (the old Technic Differential), which has a rotational symmetry of 28, and 3649 (Technic Gear 40 (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'll drop a few quick secrets on how I use conditional lines. First off, I use LDAO and L3lab for the largest amount of part modeling. Usually check occasionally with LDview and Ldraw. So if you are using MLCad, and do not have LDAO, I would (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

In reading past posts, it seems that putting in optional lines is encouraged, but I have not been able to find any information on the proper way of using them. First, clearly I use them on outside curves, but I was not able to determine definitively (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
