 | | LDraw animation: Camera.dat and Look_at.dat [DAT]
|

One more thing: I will use CAMERA.dat and LOOK_AT.dat in each Frame file in my planned LDA (hopefully LDA2005...).

(...) One thing, though. LDView can't be used to make instructions without using LPub, since it doesn't itself support the STEP command. And of course, LPub hasn't been ported to the Mac. --Travis (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
