rubberbelts around any two round shapes, and I intend to give it the
possibility to output either square section (as it is now) or round one
using 4-4CYLI primitive.

An advantage is that there are less facets and anyway belts are so thin that it (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
