Karim: (...) Wouldn't it be more practical to build a MPD file? My MPD Builder includes all DAT files necessary to the model (if they are located in the same directory) in the MPD file. But I need somebody with a DOS or MS-Windows machine to compile (...) (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)
