I wanted to give you a peek at the progress I've made:

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/kclague/LPub/callout_example.jpg

This is a three level design, with dual level callout images, complete with
pointers to show you where the called out sub-assemblies are added.

The PLI shows all the parts added at all three levels.

I've introduced placement meta-commands for called out images relative to
the current step image.  I've also added placement for the part list image
relative to the current step image.

LPub created the above image just from meta-command information, no human
intervention.

Hi Kevin, You've done it again! This is a HUGE improvement as it allows a much needed "step hierarchy", extremely useful for generating instructions - your step 0 is actually two steps. This is really great. I am probably being too inquisitive too (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
