Push Editing Down Paths

push obj1 obj2 ... objn

This command will "push" an object's path transformations to the solid's parameters located at the bottom of each path. If a conflict is encountered, then an error message is printed and NOTHING is done. A conflict occurs when the same solid "ends" different paths but the transformations are different. Conflicts could occur when "instanced" or "copied" groups occur in an object's paths or when a solid is a member of 2 regions which have been edited separately. A complication of this command, which will not be listed as a conflict, is when a solid's parameters have been changed by a push, yet this solid is referenced by another object which was NOT included in the push. The user should beware of this situation. This command can be very useful when "adding" parts from another file. Once the "object editing" of these new parts is completed, the push command will put the editing done to the solid level. Since the added parts should have no cross-references with the existing objects, there should be no problems.
