Paulo,
I tell you, guys like you amaze me. I hope you know how much
I and others appreciate all the effort you put into this kind of
stuff, especially when you do it and just give it away like you did
with your brick generator and ldraw2dxf converter. Wow.
Are you planning on releasing a "parts pack" eventually of all
the pieces in whatever vector format you end up saving them in? It
would be so cool to use something I'm familiar with, like Corel, to
make instructions for MOC's and print them on our color laser at work.
Very cool.
:)
Mike
