thanks for posting a link to this thread at

I hope we can resolve the plug issues in a discussion here.

For me it is a no-go to have a plug primitive with slanted slots.
Imagine, we would have a rectangle primitive which would be slightly rotated and not positioned aligned with the grid axes.
That's a no-go.
The same goes for me for the plug primitive.
It needs to have its slots vertically and horizontally aligned with the coordinate grid.
As primitives can use higher precision than normal parts, there should not really be rounding errors,
because the plug just gets positioned in its parent parts 1:1 and is not scaled up or down.
Also, it would be used there again with vertical slots, so there should not be a rounding problem.

For this reason I like the solution posted now by Javier, where the slots are vertical again in plug34.
