Thanks Gerald, it seems I still need to learn at least two things.
How do I create/define a subpart within a file so that the parts tracker doesn't list it as a separate subpart, but I can refer to it from elsewhere within the file? At the moment I only know how to define a subpart as a separate #####s0#.dat file.
1-8edge contains two line segments, each corresponding to a 22.5° angle starting at 0° and moving counterclockwise. The segments thus cover angles from 0° to 45°. What should I do to 'rotate' the primitive by 22.5° so that the segments cover angles from 22.5° to 67.5°? How about rotating a primitive by 1/48ths, 3/48ths, or say 7/48ths? After rotating a primitive, will it still yield the same coordinates (rounded to 4 decimals) as a larger, but unrotated primitive?
