It wouldn't be too hard for utility writers to write code to add their tool to LDAO. They just need to add a few settings to c:\windows\ldraw.ini. Let's see here... First, they need to create a new section for their tool: [My LDraw Tool] (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Umm, the battery boxes and such *are* in electric. Are you looking at LDAO's VEC? You might want to hit the "restore default categories" option to capture the recent part-moves. It's a good idea to look at the Technic category and maybe move (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Note that the angle and axis of rotation can be wrapped up nicely in a LDraw matrix -- suppose we supply this data as a preformatted matrix? Thus, a Technic Motorcycle Pivot Rotation Guide would be an LDraw line with the proper rotation matrix (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Okay. In order to pivot a piece, you need two pieces of information: the *angle* of rotation, and the *axis* of rotation. Given one, it's a little work to figure out the other. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

LDAO actually is quite good for adding utilities. It's not that hard a process, but it is an additional barrier. Having some of the most important utilities come "standard" with LDAO would be great. For example: I know that setting up L3P to work (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Good point John. What about making LDAO plugin-based so people can write utilities for it and install them as plugins? This would allow for more than just MPD being integrated - people could use whatever util written in plugin format in LDAO. (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
