Erik,
Just started following lugnet.cad, and noticed that only one person had
responded to your post. I just wanted to say that your efforts are appreciated
by me, and this latest version is very cool. I remember feeling very lukewarm
about the first release of BrickDraw3D that I tried, but I am impressed with
this one. I really like the ease with which models can be rotated.
So, it will be faster if I am running to instances of the program? OK, I'm game...
Thanks,
Chris
