Hey everyone! It was a lot of fun casually chatting about the needs and the potential of the LCD. Now its time to get down in the dirt and see it become a reality. KACS and LAD have put a TON of energy and effort into this, and it seems to be a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.lcd)

Tim, While there isn't any content now for CAD, my hope is that as we present concepts we will soon be including CAD information. For instance, in the Reviews area, it is on the drawing boards to review MLCAD. While most here are familiar with this (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad)
