    BFC Tool? —Benjamin Lyttle
   Just out of random, or perhaps not so random curiosity, is there a tool that can take the red/ green of the BFC tools in Ldview/ L3Lab and highlight the corresponding lines? I ask because I'm slowly trying to reverse lines between MLcad/LDview/LDDP (...) (16 years ago, 3-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) I think the easiest thing to do is put LDDP into polling to cursor mode, then move down the part one text line at a time. When you see a reversed polygon, fix it. It's not perfect, but it's what I did when I decided to BFC an existing part. (...) (16 years ago, 3-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) This button allow to add BFC statements in LDraw code. To change winding of a tri/quad in MLCad, double click on its line in code window (or select it in one view and hit Ctrl-M), then push "swap" button. Philo (16 years ago, 3-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) If you have a Mac you can select a line in L3Lab's Tree View and it will be highlighted in the main window. I will release a new Windows version shortly when I have finished L3P (currently writing update notes). /Lars (16 years ago, 5-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) What, like the ones that have existed pretty much forever on Unix? :) I will also point out (in case it catches anyone out) that it is possible for something to NOT have a 8.3 filename, but on most systems, this won't be a problem. (16 years ago, 7-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)
