Having the word "with" in the description, puts a part in a modified bin. This goes for plates, but also for bricks, tiles, etc.
I don't think this is the whole truth. I had a hard time finding some of the most common, new parts.
I have now edited the sorting file to my liking.
The problem I see is that the default sorting files are created and maintained by Roland. And if I'm not careful they will be overwritten when LDCad is updated.
The use of "with" to sort part doesn't work alone, AFAIK there need to be at least one more qualifier like "clip" to place "plate with clip" in that bin.
And everytime there's a new design, like "plate ... corner round" there is no rule to sort that part, and it ends up in the big category "unsorted" and is very hard to find.
I would like to hear from Roland about the different sorting rules. How do they work?
