It was just posted on RTL yesterday, so that was the first I heard of it, too.

It saves as more or less standard .dat files. When I openned a file with LDAO's editor, there were lots of "23E-2233454" type
entries, but I could still use the file as a subfile in a model.
The program definitely has its plusses and minuses right now. A big minus is that I realized it seems to rotates a part based on
the center of it's bounding box, rather than it's insertion point. With its multiple viewscreens, it was a little hard to use on my
smaller monitor at home, too.
I think it's got lots of potential, though.
