  Re: Renderer Questions
 
(...) Yuk! I guess it makes sense to add support for ROTSTEP instead. (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) For you it does. I don't think that's an option Peter can pursue. ;) Steve (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Renderer Questions
 
(...) 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)

(...) "can pursue" and "is insane enough to try" are two different issues. I teach computer programming--I've never claimed to be a GOOD programmer. =) Peter (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Renderer Questions
 
(...) 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)

(...) LPub's overall architecture suffers horribly from "bottom up design". It started out as a perl script, and then got moved to C++, so that I could add a GUI. It was a 12,000 line monolithic program until about six weeks ago. It is now split up (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Renderer Questions
 
(...) 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)
