(...) I am not sure, but I think MLCad has introduced MPD files. To your question: Yes, it can split. Use Mulitpart - Export Models and all files in the mpd will be stored in separate files on the disk with their names. Or you can choose File - (...) (15 years ago, 2-Apr-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I tend to view MPD's as something between ZIP archives (without compression though) and file directories. I guess my idea is not yet supported - at least not by very many utilities - but I wish to add new files into already existing MPD model (...) (15 years ago, 2-Apr-10, to lugnet.cad)
