There's a difference between supporting POV inline (which is not
controlled in the community) and supporting LCD info (which could be
integrated into the DAT format).  I'd like to see programs support both
options - both as an external .lcd file, and as inline lcd info in the
.dat.

I'd be willing to take a stab at writing some "click" files : )
Actually, I was thinking of writing a quick vb app that parsed dat
files and automatically genrates LCD info for parts that have stud and
tube primitives. I bet that'd save a lot of time.

That's a great idea!  Though, and I might be confused here, wouldn't it
be possible to just create a stud.lcd file, and as the stud.dat file in
included, the lcd info would automagically be there?

(...) I agree, but in the short term, I think seperate files may be simpler. (...) I thought so too, but the format document (way at the bottom) implies that this might be undesirable. I'm not sure I understand why, though : ( (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.lcd, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
