I can not agree.
All parts that I have done are made with MLCad.
The only things I have to do before uploading is:
1) Remove lines with color entries (if you have some special added)
2) Remove lines with "ROTATE" statements
3) Remove all other meta statements (ex. MLCAD HIDE)
4) Change all "BFC CERTIFY INVERTNEXT" to "BFC INVERTNEXT"
5) Change "Unofficial Model" to "Unofficial Part"
Most of this can be done by scripts.
I can edit every part that I have created and uploaded to the parts
tracker again in MLCad. I only have to do the corrections (see above)
again before uploading.
I would not be a part author without MLCad.
