Subject: 
does PT FAQ cover "CMDLINE"?...

I've had several people ask me about the CMDLINE meta-statement.
Shouldn't this meta-statement be covered in the FAQ for the Parts Tracker?

0 CMDLINE [LDraw run-time command(s)]

The CMDLINE meta-statement is a way of permitting the author to *document*
certain run-time commands which can be considered as "default" (i.e., required)
for the part in question.

For example:

Most minifig faces are printed on yellow minifig heads.  Therefore, it would be
appropriate for such a DAT file to have the meta-statement:

0 CMDLINE -c14

Note that the "-c14" is the run-time command to tell LDraw that the file in
question is to be rendered with the "base" color of Yellow (color-14).

Note, also, that most rendering programs do *not* execute this meta-statement.
As stated previously, this is a (formalized) comment.

Hope this helps!  ;-)
