This is post to sum up my ideas before I pop off on holiday for a few days. 1) Consider making the license apply to more than just parts or the parts library. This would allow things like documentation or software to be distributed too. 2) I would (...) (20 years ago, 28-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I think that it's a good idea. There is a built-in part genereator in SimLego too, but the parts it generates are far from today's LCad standards, and the SimLego source code is forever lost. A third way to go would be to write an LDraw Script (...) (20 years ago, 27-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I was going to post the image directly in the message, and was going to put "WARNING: large inline image" in the subject. However, I changed my mind and put a thumbnail in instead. Sorry about any confusion over the WARNING part. --Travis (20 years ago, 27-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) OK, I updated LDView (haven't released the update yet) to support images up to 4096x4096 via tiling, whether or not your video card can go that high.
