I downloaded and installed LPub ver 2.3.0.10 (that's the version I found linked from the page at the very beginning of this thread) It does have that ldglite button. I used the button to show it where ldglite is installed. It now allows me to pick (...) (18 years ago, 2-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yup, that's the page I used. And the install .exe is called LPub_2_4_10_0_setup.exe. But when I do Help > About it says it's ver 2.3.0.10. Now I'm really confused. :) (...) It seems to call POV-Ray on some attempts. Then on other attempts it (...) (18 years ago, 2-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I've never used LPub much. I did use it when working out getting LDView to work as a renderer. Ironically, despite the amount of time I've spent developing LDView, I don't make many LDraw models. I just tried LPub to see if I had problems. It (...) (18 years ago, 2-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) I can definitely answer "yes" to this one. Probably 90 - 95% of my CAD work is driven by the need to create instructions. I've worked with LPub and POV-Ray (and MEGA POV-Ray) for a couple of years now. But as noted elsewhere I'm really trying (...) (18 years ago, 3-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)
