This feature alone is awesome (and way better than mesh enhancer). Thanks
for the hard work.

You’re welcome. For many people, this will be the premier feature of LDView
4.1. I intended to include it in LDView 4.0, but decided it was better to get
the release out instead of delaying it just for that. It was not an easy
feature to implement.

P.S. Any plans to build in support for 3rd party POV part libraries (i.e.
LGEO, Anton, etc...)?

LGEO support is already there (via the LGEO.xml file in the installer). In the
POV Export options dialog, check the “Use XML mapping file” option. Then,
either leave the path field blank (to default to LGEO.xml in LDView’s install
directory) or browse to LGEO.xml yourself. Some people have customized their
LGEO.xml (and hopefully saved under a different filename, since I think the
installer will overwrite LGEO.xml) to use Anton parts in certain places.
However, that requires a POV-coded wrapper for each part, since Anton’s parts
are specified in POV files as a function call, where LGEO parts aren’t, and
LDView currently only supports the LGEO way of doing things.

| (...) Oh dear... I hope I did this. I should add for Orion that it's quite trivial to add parts in whatever library you choose, especially if you make use of header files to do a lot of the mass declares etc. It really is a fantastic conversion (...) (15 years ago, 8-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
