I posed some questions to the vendor including "what does it look like" and got
back the MLCAD Waggon.mpd image - so it is definitely MLCad. You might be
interested in the answers to the other questions.
My questions ...
) I'd like to know a little more about the LEGO CAD program you are auctioning
) on eBay. Is it produced by Lego? What parts does it have? Is it easy to add
) more parts? Could you possibly send me a screenshot of what it looks like in
) action?
The response ...
) Not produced by LEGO
) All parts except cannons, a few tires, and tank-like treads.
) As i find out about new part is design them and then update the program which
) is extremely easy to update and use.
All parts except a few huh! Is the typo in the last sentence deliberate - am I
supposed to assume that "is" should read "I" and that this person authors
all the new parts. Have they ever submitted an official part ? It's not just
Michael who has grounds for complaint here, all part authors should be
concerned that someone is making money out of their voluntary efforts.
