OMG - THE Steve Bliss answers my post?? "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"
Well, I'm REALLY new to this LDRAW/MLCad stuff, but am willing to learn and not
repeat the errors of my ignorance. BTW - I looked around, but could you point
me to where I can find these "official shield files" - I'm assuming you're
talking about some sort of specs sheet and not one of the actual DAT files of
the shields that are already in LDRAW? (I've looked at the few 'pre-printed'
pieces in the LDRAW parts library, but as yet can't make heads or tails or
coats of arms from the DATs files).
