I have used LDD (a little) and MLcad (occasionally over several years)
and had already given this topic some thought, so here goes. If I
were writing a new CAD program, it would do everything MLcad can do

Hmmm,
I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but what would you
think about maybe taking over the maintainence and development of
ldglite? I tend to think of it as the lowest common denominator of
LDRAW viewer/editors, but with a little care and attention (sorely
lacking from me lately) it could possibly be updated a bit. And
by expanding on it’s drag and drop support (from ldlist), it’s
cut and paste support (from sources like the peeron set database),
and it’s support for LDDP plugins, it might be possible to update
it without getting too involved with my ugly spaghetti code.
What do you think?

I’ve been considering starting in on a new WYSIWYG LPub. It has been a long
time in coming. I was hoping to not have to figure out a new renderer, so I was
thinking about using either ldglite or LDView as the renderer. I think these
tools would need to be integrated at the source level, not the
application/process level to get the speed I’d want. Both would be preferred.
I’ve got some serious performance issues in the LDraw code that I have to hammer
out before I’ll be happy with the interactivity rate.

| (...) I'm not exactly sure what you mean about the performance issues. Running an external viewer in polling mode is too slow? What sort of interactive rendering are you considering? (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
