:^)

At Brickworld I was asked about adding BOM to a page with step(s).  This does
not work and is restricted to a cover page.

It is my favorite new feature!  I like the instant feedback.

You should be able to change the background to use a picture instead.  That is
what background is for.

Not yet.  This is very messy to implement.  Steve Hassenplug created a picture
with the text he wanted and inserted the picture (hint, hint ;^)

I have to look at this.  The whole print to PDF/export process is hindered by Qt
only liking specific page sizes.  Thanks.

If there is a line in the file that says LDRAW_ORG, it is considered a part, not
a submodel.

I looked at this after input at Brickworld, and had it half implemented :-(  I
finished it since returning home.

(...) Yes, but as far as I understand this is a global setting. If arbitrary images were placed under pli/assemblies this would allow different images on each page. Philo (17 years ago, 1-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad)
