I have added an article over in the LDD Database area of Save 9v Trains of my thoughts about using LDraw (MLCad) to optimize instructions for LDD. (URL) I used this caboose as my test subject. (URL) This is a model that I designed and ordered via (...) (18 years ago, 23-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad.ldd, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Ah ha, it looks like all I missed was the return(1) to let LDList know the ldglite window accept drops. Since it seems to work now, I'd like to gather the scattered LDList documentation here and retitle this part of the thread so I can find it (...) (18 years ago, 20-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Does ProE accept .DXF files? There is a utility called DAT2DXF. Browse around on the LDraw.org website and you should find it. -Duane (18 years ago, 19-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Writing a JAVA applet to view LDRAW files is certainly fesable given a good JAVA programmer (which I am not). One may already exist :) With such an applet it could pull the dat files (official or otherwise) from the web on an as-needed basis (...) (18 years ago, 19-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I don't wish to dissuade you from going ahead with this, but I'm just wondering if there's really that much demand for such a thing. I recall seeing something similar a few years ago. It was pretty much dormant, and looked like it had been for (...) (18 years ago, 19-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'm a visitor/user not a programer (in any sense of the word). My two cents: Great Idea. To be able to download a model that I don't have (and thus can't CAD myself) is awesome. Moderating them is good for the users to protect them from models (...) (18 years ago, 19-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I always thought $k\in\{1,2,3\}$ was pretty much equivalent in this situation to $k=1,2,3$. By your definition you are assigning k to be equal to the set as opposed to a value. (...)

(...) Hmm. Most of that went over my head. Still, there were a few things that I think confused me due to more than my incipient senility: In formula 3, shouldn't that be "Let k\in \{1,2,3\} such that . . ." rather than "Let k=\{1,2,3\} such that .
