Will there be a and b versions with a moveto on the old?
Is this how it would go?
XXXXX.dat with ~moved to XXXXXa.dat as description
XXXXXa.dat with old orientation
XXXXXb.dat with new orientation
Will all three files need to be submitted to PT?
Can admins do this more easily?
Will subfiles also need to be rotated?
I think you are mixing 2 different scenarios here.
If all you want to do is change the orientaion of an official part you should make the new position as the b-version, and the old number becomes a Moved to XXXXb. There no need to move the old position to an a-version.
We have some rims and tyres in the library using this method.
An a-version + b-version is only needed if the design is split into different versions.
Like when there is a different axle hole, in the same rim design.
- If bad geo, or bad orientation, make a ~Moved to XXXb
- If design is split, numbers kept, make a ~Moved to XXXa and add the new version as XXXb
