I have found errors on all road baseplates. The green line should be 12LDU (but is 16LDU), the white line should be 10LDU (but is 12LDU), and the gap between the green line and the rest of the plate should be 4LDU (but varies from 10 to 20 LDU).

I use MLCad, and I'm wanting to convert the .dat files to .blend or .dxf files so I can load my models into Blender (a freeware 3D modeller). My brother had something that converted .pov to .dxf, but that was from older versions of POV-Ray....any (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)
