I prefer to edit my mpd files by hand, and use l3lab in polling mode to view
the changes (am I a masochist, or what?), but it's a pain having to flick back
and forth between the parts catalog especially for the common pieces (bricks,
plates, etc)
So I wrote a program that monitors a file for changes (say, bob.txt), applies a
given list of macros (in lego.def, for instance) to that file and writes the
result out to another file (like bob.mpd)... it can turn lines like
1 0 0 0 0 #IMAT #2x12plate
1 0 -8 0 0 #Y90MAT #2x12plate
into
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1 0 1 0 0 2445.dat
1 0 -8 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1 0 1 0 0 2445.dat
Which is pretty convinient, really.
