Yes, that's one of the uses for the "~Moved to..." statement.

Just ignore the line, the following line type 1 will automatically redirect you to the new part.

Ignoring is not an option. There just has to be a way automatically replace
references to renamed files, especially considered the enormous rate of
renaming/renumbering official part. My method worked until this problem popped
up.

There is: use the file referenced by the type 1 line in the MovedTo file.

Sorry, I'm a little bit slow. Exactly how am I supposed to do that with
973p11.dat? And then make this a generic routine for a utility to handle
automatically?


Btw, doesn't MLCad also have a feature to replace references to moved files? I
don't use MLCad, but doesn't multiple movedto argument mess things up for MLCad,
too?

Yes, MLCad messes this up as well.  The problem is that you're using the 0
~MovedTo comment as a reference instead of the type 1 line in the file.  0
~MovedTo is a comment and not a META command and shouldn't be treated as such.

My opinion is that neither MLCad nor MovedTo.exe messes anything up. I think
it's the multiple MovedTo arguments that messes everything up, and the change of
its usage, be it just a comment or not. And not to mention to have rendering
code in a MovedTo file! It should be illegal. :)
