| | | | | (...) A couple of other points that may be worth mentioning: 1) LDView can do BFC checking now (I use this all the time) 2) LDDP has a "fix error" option for most errors L3P can find, including bowtie quads. Other than that it looks good. Thank you (18 years ago, 16-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | Niels, Thanks for putting this together. It is good to encourage new people to become reviewers, and to reassure them that it isn't that hard to do.
