I am using parts build 4.0 with MLCad and can't find 3 x 2 wedge plates. I show 3 x 2 wedge bricks under OTHER parts, but no plate. (20 years ago, 31-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

Hi Don, How are the updates going to ldglite? I'd like to test it with LPub before I release a new version. I've got it all wired in for construction images and PLI and it seems to work well. I'd love to have -mf and -mF soon. Kevin (20 years ago, 29-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
