The point here is that being able to "merge" all of that data into the P&P file would be a nice conveinence, and it would be nice to have. But putting "roataion" data in the P&P file that is invalad or bogus, is just simply an ERROR, and it needs to be FIXED. One thing is conveinence and preferences. The other is a real problem with delivering VALID required engineering data. snip While there is much to be said regarding everyones different philosophy over just who is responsibile for what, and just how far you can trust things, etc., etc., etc., all of this has little to do with the fact tha tthe current P&P files generated by P99SE and DXP have BOGUS "rotation" data, and this needs to be fixed. This is not a question of phylosophy This is a problem that needs to be fixed.
