Congratulations to part number concept designers!
I believe that this old/new concept will resolve the part numbering
problems discussed recently in long threads.
The concept is very clear and it would be good that the rules could be
summarized in the FAQ based on Steve's and Terry's explanation.
My only question is how will the concept handle those situations when a
single part has two different colors and both can have values more then
one. As far as I can remember the "2440.DAT Hinge 6 x 3
Radar/Blade/Spoiler/Panel" part arose such a discussion. (The body of
the part and the pattern may have different colors). In that particular
case the problem was solved by creating different patterned parts. This
is OK, but what if in the future part creators will really need to use
more than one changeable color on a single unseparatable part. I know
that this will very unlikely to happen, but this is caused by the basic
design of the DAT files, ie. it has a single 'property' (#16) to refer
to the free color of the part.
Is this a real problem or the concept makes possible to resolve these
situations too?

| (...) Is it time to start thinking of a separate FAQ for part authors? (...) I would say this could be handled by putting the different-colored lines in different files (probably in parts\s). Then the actual part files can reference the sub-files (...) (26 years ago, 1-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
