  Re: automated rendering??? (was "Re: New White Tiger Mecha")
 
(...) Thanks for wrapping the color defs like this -- but how do I take advantage of them? For example, if I were to use Anton's color definitions, how would I tell the L3P output file to do so? Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Newbie questions
 
I just downloaded (and set up) MLCAD yesterday. I used the latest edition, and it created a parts list. But I've downloaded some of the DAT files from the models group and several things are puzzling me. I looked at the excellent tutorial, but did (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: [part] Updated S\973S01.DAT
 
(...) Ya know, it seems awfully crass for me to put my name in there, seeing that Steve has done the vast, vast bulk of the work and I basically just fixed a typo. I'd be inclined just to strike my name from that list -- what do y'all think? Cheers, (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: MLCAD rotation (future request)
