I just wrote a plugin for LDDP (LDraw DesignPad) which does 'SyncEdit'.
If you have seen the later versions of the Borland IDE, you know what I
mean, if you haven't, it's like this:
You select a part of a program and click the SyncEdit button. The IDE now
enters a special mode, where you can step through all variable names used in
the selection, and if you change one, all occurances will be changed at the
same time.
Applied to LDDP, my plugin works like this:
You can work on the whole file or, if a selection exists, only on the
selection. A window will be shown where the first XYZ of a line type
[2,3,4,5] is highlighted, and also *all other XYZ triplets having the same
value*. You can step forwards and backwards among the triplets, and if you
change one you can have that change applied to all the other highlighted
ones.
Finally you OK or Cancel the edits and return back to LDDP proper.
Unfortunately, my ISP wasn't very responsive right now (meaning I couldn't
ftp the file(s)), so I you (any you) want to test it you'll have to notify
me here or with mail to blockcad AT gmail DOT com
The plugin .dll is 121kB zipped, I also have a free standing .exe
demonstrating (approximately) the same behaviour as LDDP (221kB).

| Hi all, I've been up to my ears in NXT land, in case anyone noticed or wondered about my absence. Needless to say there are "unoffical" Ldraw parts being developed. I've increased my skill set as a part author (previously I've only modified parts (...) (18 years ago, 12-Apr-06, to lugnet.cad)
