There are a bunch of usability issues (like the Editor shouldn't
deselect the selection after performing an action!), but not too many
out-and-out bugs.

Steve, a nice addition would be an alt-a command to turn a part 90 deg. on its
y-axis, just like the "a" command in Ldraw.  Also, I've noticed that alt-x/y/z
lets me rotate a part, but alt-s (or alt-c) doesn't work for setting the
center of rotation.

Aside from the deselection thing, the only real usability problem for me
happens while I'm trying to cut and paste lines.  If I'm trying to select a
line to cut when LDLite's "polling" takes place, sometimes I end up cutting
the wrong selection or get other unexpected results.  I don't know if it's
possible to dissable the polling say while the using is click-dragging or
maybe have a setting where polling is only allowed when I click a button or
something like that.

(...) Well, these particular parts weren't majorly challenging. The nice about doing these parts was it was the first chance I got to really *use* the new features in LDAO. Before, I'd just do what was necessary to test the enhancement and fixes. (...) (26 years ago, 8-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
