3. Copied all the primitives from the P folder to the PARTS folder.
4. Edited P.LST and inserted the word PRIMITIVE infromt of every description.
5. Cut & Paste P.LST into PARTS,LST (I am told this is not proper, Hence the
question)
6. Used PRIMITIVES out of the Others>P folder and layed then out in MLCAD.

Don’t do this, it’s bad since the work is unnecessary and the primitve library
is updated almost every time a new library update is release. I know there is
some more substantial reason why doing this is bad but I can’t think of it
right now.

A good reason could be that the resulting references to primitives would be to
the wrong libary, but there must be another way to display the content of
folders like /p, /p/48, and /s in MLCad’s availible parts tree/parts preview, so
you can drag and drop them? - It seems to be possible with /models.
Talking of primitives, what is the correct name for the “normal” primitives like
lines, triangles and quads? (and have these types a special name under one?)
