(...) Yeah, it's probably about time. Plus it looks like the embedded spaces in filenames issue is about to hit it big. You'll have to fetch the latest code (1.1.18) to get the fix for that one. (...) Err, I know I can't... Don (19 years ago, 26-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) LDGLite 1.0.12 came through fine for me, but that also reminds me that we(I) haven't added any info to the known issues since I have found more issues, and we(I) haven't rolled a new OS X version in a while. I am actually using 1.0.15 (I (...) (19 years ago, 26-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

So, I got LDGLite working on my Mac, and dragged a file made with Bricksmith onto it. This file has a subassembly (submodel?). LDGLite renders nicely, except that my submodel doesn't appear where it should be on the final model; instead it's sitting (...) (19 years ago, 26-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
