I can only speak for myself. I am a self-made programmer with huge voids in my programming skills. I am probably breaking every existing convention of good programming habits. I already know that, and I don't wish to have that confirmed those who (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)

Hi. I like being able to say, “That’s mine that is.” about programs I write. With open source you can say, “I started that.” Both of which I think are great things to be able to say but personally I prefer the first one. It could just be chance that (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)

Hi Dan, This looks very good. Questions/suggestions/comments: The interface looks like Leocad's one - is that a coincidence? Please consider exporting to 3DS. Leocad does it, while Mlcad does not. Unfortunately, updating Leocad's library is (used to (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)

The LDRAW tools (including MLCAD) are available for free download in binary form. But the source code is kept private. I'd like to offer a word of encouragement to the authors and maintainers of the code to consider opening the source code. This (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

I like using the CMDLINE as a concise way of documenting the default (i.e., the *usual*, not necessarily the *only*) color of a part. The CMDLINE is usually shorter than the corresponding sentence.

(...) Yes of course, because all Lego plastic-parts are expected to be virtual available. But these parts are complex and not everybody has them in his/her collection.
