I think you guys are missing the point of Tom's excellent suggestion.  Notice
the "0" in front of the 2916 line.  That means he's just including commentary

easier to add it in when that time comes.  Since it's just a comment, it • won't
generate a "file not found" message or anything like that.

If someone has made a mock-up and taken the trouble to correctly place it • in a
model, it's silly to completely delete that information, only to have to put
it back at a later point.  Although, now that I think about it, there • could be
problems if the insertion point of the official part is not the same as the
insertion point of the mock-up.

Anyway, good idea, Tom!

I guess it could work if it is a widely-distributed mockup.  If the part
number is in the file correctly and in the correct position, no changes
would have to be made to that line to get it to work properly once the part
is released.  All that would have to be done is the comment line denoting
it as a mockup could be deleted.  Provided the comment is there the line
before the mockup saying it is a mockup, I suppose that would work.

(...) Correct. Allowing mockups would cause confusion and inconsistency throughout the repository. Comment out the parts that do not exist and leave the part blank. -Tim Courtney ldraw.org Project Coordinator (URL) timcourtne ICQ: 23951114 (25 years ago, 24-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
