[LDView] ldr to pov export error

[Chris Dee]

Actually, if !HISTORY lines like the following are always present, LDView could be updated to automatically look for alternate names for a part to do this without any changes to LGEO.xml.

Code:

0 !HISTORY 2008-07-08 [PTadmin] Renamed from 193a (2006-04-13)

Chris Dee, are history lines like the one above auto-generated? And are they consistently present (with the exact "Renamed from x" text) in all parts updated within the last (say) 10 years?

Sorry, but no these HISTORY lines are not auto-generated, because it is not always that straightforward. Frankly it would be a poor design to rely on free-text comments for such relationships. The only foolproof way is to use the target of the type 1 line in the ~Moved to file (including any transformation matrix). Admittedly this provides a forward reference, rather than the backward reference you appear to be seelking.
