(...) I suppose you could use the mlcad GROUP meta-command to name your parts. Then perhaps you could invent a SUBSTITUTE meta-command to substitute one group for another? I don't know, it could work. Enjoy, Don (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes. I realized after I wrote the above that MLCad GROUPS are a good way of naming, since they already exist. Even simply being able to remove all parts in a group from the model would be sufficient. Then you could add a new part or parts to (...) (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Michael, Is this something you would be interested in adding to MLCad? I could add it as an LPUB meta-command, but it would be best if it were an MLCAD meta-command that LPub supports. Kevin (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Yeah, in his first post Kevin said you could use Buffer Exchange and Ghost to acheive the effect, but it's not easy.

(...) Hi Michael, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I use buffer exchange *alot*, and it works well for some cases, but not others. In the 8455 model, you start putting a hose in step 8, but you don't have enough of the model to hook up the other end of (...) (20 years ago, 11-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
