(...) Yah, I keep a directory \ldraw\archive\models\ handy for stuff I snarf. It actually goes a couple levels deeper: \ldraw\archive\model...)\(model)\ . Lately, though, I've been thinking of just MPD'ing everything to cut down on that last (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I think Not, MPD won't act as a virtual direcotry, since you can only use it to represent the model contained within it, not several, unless they all are part of a larger model, (same tree root) i.e. the first file included in the MPD. See ya (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes, but how do you do to draw only one of those models of the bunch in the MPD ? I think you can't unless, you edit the first file (index) of the MPD. With this in mind, an MPD does NOT work as a virtual directory, but it can act as a place (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
