For the Mac version of ldglite, I was thinking of building in the unarchive code (unarj) because of arj' obscurity in the Mac world, and then I thought, why not just have it get parts as needed from the arj? ldraw.exe is 988k, complete.exe is 1800k (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad)

I think this is a great idea. I was thinking about a similar thing, where MLCad would load full updates from the internet, and install it onto the machine. However searching unknown parts on the internet is a very good idea too, but would require (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad)

You could use MLCad for this feature. The program supports so called RotationSteps which rotate the model and stop drawing (or generate a picture). To make a rotating model, you have to append several rotation steps at the end of the dat file and (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad)
