| | | Well, interesting to me... While building the TIE Fighter set, I noticed an obvious CAD-ism in the instructions.

| | | | | (...) I don't know where you heard about the 2D library but it's wrong, they use a 3D CAD program. Leonardo (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | | | I bet they use one of them multimillion dollar programs. The backgrounds on the old technic sets look a lot like they were autocad drawings. But it would make sense for them to just use the same data they have from the molds for the plastic as (...) (24 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)

It's pretty new. (And that's all I know about it) They used to (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)
