Ok, a couple of hours later, and a few things to mention...

Doesn't support MPD files yet, at least not ones that I have that work fine in
MLCad.

Can't seem to figure out how groups work, if at all.

Files that are saved have three unusual characters at the very beginning that
other programs have an issue with, including MLCad and LDView, which are the
main tools that I use.  If I use LDraw Design Pad to remove those characters,
everything is fine.  If I just load the file in the other tools, the those
characters make the first piece invalid, so it doesn't show up.

I'd also request that CTRL-S be set to hotkey for the Save Model function.  It's
pretty much a standard, and I'm used to hitting it to save my work
periodically...  Plus LDView will poll to load a saved file, so I can leave it
rotating in LDView, and flip back and forth to watch it, without disrupting my
editing/creation session.

Again... amazing work so far.  I was able to re-create several dat files that
had unusual angles in a rather short time, considering I only downloaded the
application last night.
