Thanks Ben,
I was afraid that I might end up being a LUGNET guinea pig for this
software...oh well, what's another $50.00 down the tubes.
I'll be sure to post a review of LEGO Designer when I do get it, so others
might know what it's all about.
BTW, is anyone using BrickDraw3D to view .dat files? I've got it crashing
whenever I try to bring up the parts list. Also, It seems to me that if I
can move a piece of a model, it shouldn't be too hard to make my own models
from there. I'm a designer, not a programmer, so I don't know the
nitty-gritty fo the code...but logic dictates, right?
I'm going to download LDraw tomorrow and try to do a direct port of it in
RealBasic. Someone stop me if they've tried this...
Matt

| I just wanted to chime in here. Virtual PC is a workable solution for using MLCad on a Mac. I have been using VPC 4.0 and MLCad 1.99 on a G3/400 PowerBook, and I find it useable (much better than VPC 2.1.3). It is not going to win any speed awards, (...)
