(...) Wow do I feel stupid. No, I hadn't tried that, and it works perfectly. It's still not a vector image, but at least it gets me to a good raster image in one step instead of five. It is a bit counter-intuitive to me that the way to get a good (...) (13 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

For various reasons, I've been attempting to extract a vector line drawing of a large LDraw model. On the surface, this would seem simple (which is always the case for the hardest projects). LDraw itself is a vector format. Each edge line is defined (...) (13 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Has anyone modeled a bit of flex tubing that has beveled ends? I think I know what I need to do to model it but actually doing it may be beyond my patience, (but maybe I'm using the wrong tool, working with quads in MLCad is a bit hard) Thanks. (13 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
