(...) I would like to chime in here too. F5 refresh would be nice. Especially since v. 1.6 no longer does what 1.5 used to do; In 1.5, when the model was done rendering, you could sele Option|View and hit Enter to redraw the model. Now, you have to (...) (26 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

That is all there is to it. "0 FILE name.dat" starts a subfile. The subfile ends when end-of-file or another "0 FILE name.dat" line is reached. By convention, tools like L3P and LDLite, when given an mpd file, will render the first subfile. The (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
