Make the UI look like a set of instructions.  Each step in
the model would be presented simultaneously, probably in a
scrolling window.

Problem I would have with this is that I don't always
(actually hardly ever) insert steps in the model as I
build it.  I usually enter in the whole thing and then
figure out where the steps should go.  this interface
paradigm would be frustrating for me, I think.

And then Steve asked:

Does that mean the editor should auto-insert steps?

I don't think so.

If you want to use the instructions paradigm, then the
proper solution is most likely to let the user have an
option for handling every line as a separate step.

It should of cause be possible to choose a part by pointing
at it on the drawings (not as hard as it might sound).


Play well,

Jacob
