Hi. Perhaps your pathname to the LDRAW files or to your model files contains a space or some other unfriendly character. Try everything with the path C:\LDRAW or similar, and see if that works. -gyug (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't think "primitive" would be the correct term, but a sub-part (for the parts\s folder) would be. It didn't make sense to sub-part the "nozzle"/"connector" for the pneumatic tube on the air tank, since it is different from the "nozzle" on (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
