The code

1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stug-1x3.dat
1 16 0 0 -10 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stug-1x2.dat

Based on the description below, I would have expected that the number of studs in the Z-direction would have changed. To my surprise, the number of studs in the x-axis increased. I suspect the official reference guide is wrong about stud groups. I'm also unhappy that the reference guide doesn't tell me from which direction the logos are readable (they're actually sideways).

Stud groups are provided to reduce the size of part files with many regularly spaced studs. The naming convention is stugN-XxZ.dat, where:

    N = type of stud (regular stud, hollow stud, underside stud, etc.)
    X = number of studs on the x axis
    Z = number of studs on the z axis

To prevent an overload of the library with excessive combinations, the numbers on the x and z axis are limited to:

    1xZ stugs
    Xx1 stugs (Due to stud orientation you cannot rotate a 1xZ stud group by 90 degrees to get a Xx1 stud group)
    XxZ stugs where X = Z
