| | | OK, you had me going there for a second. I started a thread looking for CAD-DAT file converters and I thought you had one! (...) I'm curious how this works (if it's true). Are you guys modeling in commercial 3D software and then using some level of (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
