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. :/
