The 'zero' point is normaly at the center of the part with the y=0 point at
the base of the studs. A regular plate has then a Y value of y=0 (stud
position) to Y=8 (bottom of the plate)

Thanks Cary for the fast reply. But you need a lot of patience for the points.
Summer is comming and i do have a lot to do in the garden. The point wouln't
be an easy one to create too ! But i have to thank you too for figuring out
the point geometry! Also thanks to Tore Eriksson for his C source routine to
calculate curved polygons, witch i translated to VBA and use it in Excel
2000 (won't run with Excel 97 !). It runs good, but need some finetuning
(line type 5 is not implemented, need to create forms to have an easier way

As you can read, there's still a lot to do.
Regards and thanks a lot,
Ludo
