(...) Mark's models now digitized. ;-) (...) Absolutely. The parts detail is superb, just what we've come to expect from Anton. And the exhaust glow is pretty cool, too.

Hello. Does anyone know if small pontoon-type elements were ever made for LCAD? I'm referring to small-sized ones capable of supporting an airboat or sea plane. James J. (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

|

Michael, Why is the Maximum Coarse movement limited to 100? If one is moving pieces long distances frequently, using the Enter Position/Rotation dialog box can become tiresome. Could you perhaps increase the limit to, say, 250 or so? Regards, --Ryan (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
