LPub 2.4.7.0 has fixes for page number font save/restore.  It also has a fix for
BOM and PLI overlap problems with non-rectangular parts.  Furthermore the
packing is now much tighter.

Here is a BOM for my robo-hominid without the improved packing:

Here is the same BOM with the improved packing:

Enjoy!

Hi Kevin,

Finally got around to downloading this version and just discovered that the
meta-command LPUB PACK SUBS doesn't seem to do anything. The new version seems
to wipe the _bom.ldr file after use too so I can't even repack with my own
software.

Also, I'm getting an error:

submodel_bill_of_materials: Failed to open file
C:\ldraw\LDRAW\MODELS\TheGhan\GhanEngine.ldr for reading

when I try to generate the BOM/sub-BOM for an MPD in that directory. I tried
putting the file there but that didn't seem to fix the problem.

Apologies if the latter is an old error but I couldn't find it.

Yours,

Tim
