| (...) Maybe the -D command line option does what you want? From the docs: -D, will tell LDLite to start ignoring STEP commands after levels of included files. Use the option -D1 to have LDLite only wait for a keypress or save a bitmap at STEP (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Actually I'm no longer sure about that. If ROTSTEP is supported internally in LPUB, and LPUB supports ldglite as an alternative renderer, than supporting ROTSTEP in ldglite might make that more difficult. Kevin? I suppose I could make ROTSTEP (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) If adding ROTSTEP to ldglite is the right thing to do in general, then go ahead and add it. LPub is in general, a simple tool to create a step DAT for each step, and render each step (plus PLI and BOM). There are a bunch of work arounds for (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Heh, when I finally realized ROTSTEP was more of a runtime command than an LDLITE parse time command, and looked at the right file, guess what I found. Yeah, that's right: BUFEXCHG, GHOST, etc. test code. I think I might even be able to use (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
