That would be one way. The easiest way would be to save the entire 'dat' as a single *.MPD file. If you're using MLCad, it will open the MPD and automatically open the sub-model DATs in it. To EDIT those submodels, you do have to break the file down (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.models.sets)
