Leonardo:
Two comments:
1. One of my fellow BayLUG members is a *very* pro-Linux.
Much to my suprise he wound up using MLCAD to do his
MOC instruction manuals. When I asked him "why?",
his response has that LeoCAD could not read and write
files that interoperated with MLCAD. My gut reaction
to this statement, is that it should be almost trivial
to get LeoCAD to read MLCAD generated files and write
files that MLCAD can subsequently read.
2. I never found the LeoCAD GUI to be particularly hard, but
I did notice that I never wanted to move bricks around
with the mouse; instead, I always used the keyboard because
I couldn't precisely position anything any other way. It
may be sufficient to add a mode to LeoCAD to allow people
to use LDraw/MLCAD keyboard bindings.
My $.02,
-Wayne

| (...) What do you mean by that? LeoCAD has been able to read/write .dat files for years. (...) I use the keyboard exclusively too but I never thought that following the LEdit keys was so important to other people. I'll work on that. Leonardo (22 years ago, 14-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
