Hmm. LDAO can do this. Or, it used to be able to. In the HTML instruction
generator, it would scan for 0 SUB meta-statements in the main text. the 0
SUB line(s) would reference files that the HTML-IG would render as an inset
subassembly. I think the HTML-IG has been broken for awhile now...

MLCAD can do this, but you haven't read about it...
Both operations you mention would be very nice things to be able to do, as a
native feature of the LDraw modelling-language (as opposed to the LDraw
parts-language, both of which would be variations of the general LDraw
graphical description language).

| (...) If you get around to fixing it, then I would appreciate it, if you could seperate the code in operating system specific and non-operating system specific parts. Where is the syntax for the "SUB" meta-statements documented? Play well, Jacob (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad)
