To think I considered myself crazy when I modelled the ISD. ;-)

Not that I'm aware of. I assume Michael uses file pointers so file size
shouldn't be an issue.

Yes and no. No in that there is no limitation in MLCad (although Michael can
correct me if I'm wrong). Yes due the the fact that MLCad gets very slow after
about 1000 pieces or so (This number is dependant on the amount of memory you
have installed and the speed of your processor).

A little experimentation yielding this as the range of values:
-9223372036854.78 to 9223372036854.77
-Orion

| (...) Mayby you could use submodels (smaller portions of your sculpture) to avoid MLCad getting very slow. When you want your final result as one straight ldr-file you can have all your submodels inlined when they're finished. Niels (21 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
