(...) That sounds suspiciously like a challenge. How often is 'often'? 500 KB is in the neighborhood of a 7500 piece model. I currently can't do better than 108 KB, and that would be a fairly gratuitous posting (ie, it's been published elsewhere). (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

Beside the fact that the next release will be faster than 1.99R1 :-) I have another idea: What if would be possible to mark certain parts for outline or wire-frame drawing? Would that be of any help? Michael (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
