There were indeed a lot of prerequisites (and pre-prerequisites!), but I think I've managed to build them all, and Lic launches! Hurray for (...)

Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a few years now, and have been using LDrawfor quite some time. I finally have something worth saying! In the past few months I've found time to work on a little LDraw application that I've been wanting to (...) (17 years ago, 27-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX) !!

| | Wanted: LDMerge beta testers

Thanks to an inquiry from Michael Heidemann, I've written a little utility called LDMerge. I'd like to have one or two other people test it before it is released just to confirm that it works as intended. LDMerge is a console tool for temporarily (...)

I think the answer is very easy. Linetype 1 is for referencing to an existing LDraw file, doesn't matter which type (part, subpart, primitive etc.) So it is not necessary to describe that in the MPD Language Extension. The MPD Language Extension is (...) (17 years ago, 22-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)
