(...) Yes, this is part of the plan. (...) LPub has to consider the rotation matrix for each submodel. If the rotation matrix includes negative numbers, then we're talking about mirror images which should not be put together in one callout. (...) (16 years ago, 27-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Having played some more it seems that LPub takes the first orientation of the submodel in it callout from its orientation within the model. It then follows any rotstep commands relative to that first orientation. This would be the reason for (...) (16 years ago, 27-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It had 111 steps (thus pages). Now it has 44! It took about 2 to 3 hours to layout the basics and another hour or so to fine tune. All in all about 3 to 4 hours, I guess. Modelling it (creating the MPD) took many more hours though. If you take (...) (16 years ago, 27-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Hi Jaco, Just curious.... How many total steps in the model (i.e. how many pages before you did any step groups or callouts)? How many pages after laying out the BIs with LPub 4? How long did it take to layout the BIs? Kevin (16 years ago, 26-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

I found a newer ATI driver and installed it, still same problem! I uninstalled all graphics card drivers and re-installed new one, LDView now works Thanks for the pointer Tim (16 years ago, 26-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I believe it can read them but can't write them. Earlier versions definitely could but the newer ones may be missing that feature. And yeah the LXF file format definitely has the concept of sub-models. Tim (16 years ago, 26-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ldd)
