[LDCad] Part Snapping missing/errors

[Roland Melkert]

Will the snapping data depend on the orientation of the grooves (as was recently corrected in the PT)?

It could if it uses a generic sphere meta using absolute placement.

That would get it in a good starting position, so the user can slide it inside and rotate/bend the attached axle later on.

Like so (including the corrections reported above)

2999.dat

Code:

0 !LDCAD SNAP_CYL [gender=M] [caps=none] [secs=R 23 3  R 20 4  R 18 56  _L 19 2] [slide=true] [pos=0 -31 0] [ori=0 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0]
0 !LDCAD SNAP_GEN [group=techWhlCon1] [gender=M] [bounding=cyl 17 32] [pos=0 2 0]

2907.dat

Code:

0 !LDCAD SNAP_GEN [gender=M] [bounding=sph 15] [ori=0.92388 0 0.382683 0 1 0 -0.382683 0 0.92388]

2998a.dat

Code:

0 !LDCAD SNAP_GEN [group=techWhlCon1] [gender=F] [bounding=cyl 17 32] [pos=0 0 9] [ori=0 0 -1 1 0 0 0 -1 0]

optimally it would need a new snap connection (sphere in a tube), but I'm not sure it would really be that more helpful.
