you won't believe it but I just learnt a few new things.

no marking needed:
* open the part in LDDP
* select "Process > External programs > Polling > Poll to L3Lab & LDView" (but
it's faster via the icon in the toolbar)
* select "Process > External programs > Polling > Poll to selected line only"
(but it's faster via the icon in the toolbar)
* select "Process > External programs > Polling > Poll every 1 sec" (but it's
faster via the icon in the toolbar)
* launch L3Lab selecting " the toolbar "Process > External programs > L3Lab"
(but it's ...) you an also launch LDView if your video card supports LDView's
BFCing correctly.
* select "Test > mytest6" in L3Lab
* arrange LDDP and L3Lab windows to see them properly
* place cursor in first line in LDDP
* move down with the arrow key. L3Lab will draw just to this line
* in case you encounter a red triangle, quad select "tools > Reverse Winding"
(but its faster via ...) actually the fastest way is just using the undocumented
F12-key and the arrow-down-key

LDView checks for this errors and offers you a possible split into triangles. be

as far as I know travis is working on this.

| (...) Non coplanar quads can also be caused by an error in one of the coordinates. Please check the coordinates first before splitting the quad into triangles! Niels Karsdorp (18 years ago, 19-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad)
