Hmm. There isn't currently any guide to reviewing parts. But there should
be -- at least a FAQ. I'll work on it.
But the important thing is common sense - to check a file, get the matching
part in hand, and compare the physical part to the computer part. View the
part from different anlges. In L3Lab, use the transparent view to see
through the part. In MLCAD, try using the part in a model; compare it other
released parts to make sure the various dimensions are correct.
