Thanks. I'll use that one then.
Let me take advantage of this thread to suggest the inclusion of another element
in the lsynth mpd: the Fibre Optics Cable x400. This is the one that came with
the RCX, Spybots and several Exoforce sets, has the same diameter as the
pneumatics tubes (approx.) and requires no end piece.
Philo prepared a quick hack for me when I needed it some time ago:
0 FILE FIBER_OPTIC_CABLE.ldr
0 FIBER_OPTIC_CABLE SYNTHESIS DEFINITION
0 Name: FIBER_OPTIC_CABLE.ldr
0 Author: Kevin L. Clague
0 Unofficial Model
0 SYNTH BEGIN DEFINE FIBER_OPTIC_CABLE HOSE STRETCH 8 50 0
0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 "Custom"
0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0
1 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
0 SYNTH END
The name would of course have to be different to distinguish between the two
types and MLCad.ini should include a line to recognise it (and set the default
colour to 47)

| (...) Hi Jetro, it'll be a pleasure including them. According to peeron: (URL) name is going to change to "FIBER_OPTIC_CABLE_WIDE" though (not the most meaning full to underline the difference with x401 but it'll do the job). w. (15 years ago, 16-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
