(...) Actually they are aware of a lot of things, I know someone from TLC who tried LeoCAD. It's not a big surprise, if they know Lugnet then it's almost impossible not to know the CAD newsgroups too. (...) We could come up with a simple standard (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Having their names would be good but even better would be having all of the part numbers for all of the parts, including those really small ones where we dont currently have part numbers (like the minifig torsos for example) (24 years ago, 26-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
