Another question from a CAD Newbie

I'm working on 'recreating' the Castleland sets in LDRAW/MLCAD (for me, lots
cheaper than trying to hunt down the real sets [wife's objection #1] AND
takes up less space [wife's objection # 2]). As I progress, I am getting
more into making sub-models and then combining them into the larger model.
My question (you knew I was leading up to this):

Is there a easy way to combine all the dat files into one?

My primary purpose for this is for ease of uploading. So far what I have
been doing is copy & pasting the dat files into a single file, but this will
get rather mouse-cramping when dealing with more than a handful of
sub-models. :/

(...) Get Jacob Sparre Andersen's buildmpd utility (there should be a link to it from (URL)). It's a command line program, but it will combine all your subfiles in one shot. Or use MLCad's import functions to add each file to the master. Steve (23 years ago, 20-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad)

Mark: (...) Yes. The "multi-part DAT" (MPD) format. There is a tool for collecting DAT files into a MPD file. Have a look at: (URL) it is just a matter of inserting "0 FILE <filename>" as the first line of each of the DAT files and then collecting (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad)
