Final Sticker Back Standard - Orion Pobursky - 2025-07-23
Here's the final sticker back standard. I am in the middle of a documentation overhaul and this will get folded into the that. Until then, this will live here.

Hello,
I have started to play with the rules indicated and perhaps some further refinement is needed. Attached are two sample sheets (new parts) as an example a little more extensive for what we are going to have.
- In the name of the stickerback, it would be better to indicate immediately whether the values are rounded or integer. Possiblity of different stickerback for different parts with same rounded dimensions. Maybe you put a !HELP line with the part number where to attach it, but then you have to open the file to see it.
- In the name of the stickerback, it would be better to indicate immediately if it has an irregular shape. A final "I" may be enough for example.
- In the case of formed stickers, in which the partname derives strictly from the part on which it is to be attached, what description should be used? "Stickerback ZZZ x XXX Formed" or "[Partname] - Stickerback ZZZ x XXX Formed"
- in the case of formed stickers, is the orientation to be used the one with which it should be attached to the piece or that of the flat sticker? See for example 11477 and 15068. 90 degree rotation required so ZZZ and XXX exchange.
- In the case of stickers to be formed, I removed the intermediate points on side faces for connection with upper faces. Maybe I should have entered a trace with a HELP of where the points were?

I'm not sure I understand this question

Irregular, flat stickers dont need a sticker back.

I've been going with Sticker Back ZZZ x XXX (Formed)

Orientation on the sticker. Dimension order should remain the same as the flat sticker.

I'm not sure I understand this question as well.
