Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to name custom colors in MLcad. I see the "name" field when defining a custom color, but it is grayed-out and non-editable. If there is not a way, would it be possible to consider this for a future version? (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi All, I should know this ... what's the trick for turning off "perspective", if you will, so that you can do a straight-on side view? That is, to remove the "vanishing into the horizon" effect? ISO views, is that what it's called? Ugh ... HELP! -s (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
