Me too. I'd also like it to be integratable into development environments.
This is why the actual synthesizer is a simple ASNI C program that can be
accessed via command prompt methods, whether that be unix or windows, and
all the actual synthesis information resides in the LDraw file.
I contacted Michael about integrating it into MLCAD, but he had already
added hose and two-pulley belt synthesizers. I hope he considers
integrating it in the future, because I think the lsynth rubber band, tread,
chain synthesizer is superior in capabilities (we'll fix the file size issue
soon.)

| (...) A simple fix to reduce the file size some what is to limit the amount of digits in the synthisized part. For example, I noticed that lsynth writes 10.000000 instead of just 10. Also I think 3 or 4 decimal places is accurate enough (although (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
