And I was just about to ask how to actually input coordinates in LDView should I need to do that - which you just (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jun-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) I just wanna make clear that the L3P coordinates have to be "L3P style global coordinates". For example <25,45,0>,<-25,225,0>. Please do not send me raw LDView outputs for PoyRay like: camera { #declare ASPECT = 4/3; location < (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jun-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

Now that you say it, I seem to remember that playing with preferences sets might have been the last thing I tried to do before the first crash - thought it'd be an interesting feature to test out.

(...) I'm not 100% sure, but it appears that preference sets are setting off the crash. I'm not sure why yet, but QT on the Mac just completely wigs out when you launch LDView after creating and switching to a new preference set. So I'd say, don't (...)
