Yes, 3DWin will do what you want. Just remember if you're hoping to get stuff
officially included in the library there still might be a lot of work do be done
(even after translation). If you're just trying to see something in MLCAD,
though, 3DWin's DAT/LDR output is fine.
On a larger note, does anyone have any idea how we can keep track of these 3DS
files (and other files) on the net so that we're all not working on the same
part at the same time? I don't know if everyone is up for "sharing" these parts
right off the bat, but if something could exist to let others know what's
already been done, who did it, and with what application, that would be great.
Something like a parts tracker for non-DAT files? Anyone else want something
like that?

| (...) A "Here's what part I'm working on" and "I'd like to see this part made" tracker is a hot button issue for me right now. Look for some developments in the coming months. -Orion (20 years ago, 19-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad)
