Hi all, It has been a long time since I posted, but here is one again. Lately I am getting some questions about new parts and a new update from the Dutch cad community. Questions are: why does it take so long for a part to be official and when will (...) (18 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I was not aware of that! I had simply assumed that Megapov 2.11 had that same feature. No wonder it wasn't outlining my models... (...) Thank you very much for that information. I just downloaded both programs. Thanks, David (18 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I will second Kevin's suggestion of changing to ldview or ldglite. They produce excellent instruction pics and I think they look much better than MegaPOV with edge-lines for instructions. That said, I would strongly recommend backing up all (...) (18 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Recently we learned that LEGO respects the LDraw CAD family enough to invest its own software development time and energies so that LDD can import and export LDraw models. I was very proud of us and our efforts when this happened. I recently (...) (18 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.cad) !!
