Hello, I was wondering if there is any program that walks through an ldraw.dat file and generates parts lists for each step of the model? Currently when I find a model on the net I use LDLite to view the model. My LEGO however is not right in front (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I think the real problem is programs that converts its own format to LDraw format, like BlockCAD, LeoCAD(?), and SimLego. (Sorry Leonardo, it was ages since I used your superb program, so I don't even know if it has a built-in LDraw converter). The (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hey, y'all: I'm working on adding a feature to LDAO which verifies that parts.lst and the VEC directory are up-to-date. I started to write this post asking if it was worth the effort, but now I'm wondering what steps are even necessary. I think it (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
