Your problem is easily solved:
- Make a MPD of your model using MPDWorkshop (Listed in the Software downloads
section of LDraw.org)
- Open the newly created MPD in in MLCad 3.1 or higher
- Go to the Extras menu and choose Reports->Parts
- Check the Submodels box
- All the parts in the model should now be displayed
A couple limitations to this:
- All the submodel files are displayed in addition to the parts in those
submodels
- If you MPD have unofficial parts then all the primitives will be displayed as
well
- All the indiviual pieces of flexble hoses, flexible axles, etc. will be listed
a individual parts.
Both of these will serve to inflate the part count a bit. The best way to
conpensate for this is to save the report and then manally edit out the
erronious part readings.
