  Re: Understanding the Datsville Coordinates
 
(...) Thanks for the response. I know you're right; it's normal behaviour for coordinate systems. But I guess I'm not normal. :) For some reason, I have no problems with the y axis, despite it goes the wrong way. Probably because you always know (...)

(...) Thats normal behavior in each coordinate system. My problem is more the y axis in LDraw that it decreases if it is higher! But thanks for that information. I am sure it will help in some cases. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 24-May-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

  Re: *** MLCad V3.30 *** new feature request
 
Hi, This is something that's been bugging me for a while, but since MLCAD is free software and very useful even without this feature, I haven't made much of a fuss about it. However, I thought I'd throw it out here so others can comment on it and so (...) (15 years ago, 22-May-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
