(...) Yes! Yes! Yes! Although not surprising coming from another EMACS user. It's amazing how hard it is to convince people that you can get things done so much faster if your fingers never leave the keyboard. Unfortunately it requires training to (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You can keep compatibility with the POV libraries but each one (LGEO, L3P and Anton Rave's (?)) use a different coordinate system. LeoCAD uses the parts from LGEO first and then if something is missing, it creates the parts using its own (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes, I totally agree with you. I think that once you bother to learn the LEdit keycodes, it is much quicker to use than a "point and click" CAD system. I think that any new LDraw-based CAD system should also imlement the LEdit kecodes for the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) A feature I already started adding to ldglite is to take ldraw commands from stdin if no filename is present on the commandline. I think this lends itself better to external control than polling a file. This is of course based on my completely (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) What about the parts libraries used by the Ray tracing folks? Or is a totally new format in order? Either way I think the right thing to do is start with some utilities that convert the LDRAW formatted parts to whatever form we want to use. (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Take a look at my previous post, LeoCAD is GPL. I know it doesn't look like LDraw but you can still run "leocad foo.dat" and it will render the file or "leocad foo.dat -i foo.gif" and it will save a GIF file (JPG, PNG and BMP also supported). (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
