Sounds good. I may be jumping the gun just a bit on this one. So far I do not
have any "real" parts that use these primitives yet. So there is no rush on it.
Although, I could see them being used if available. I have started to use the
Hi-res primitives before when I noticed the lack of the ones needed.

Again, sounds good, send me any info you wish, anything would be useful. I
have learned a great deal of Excel doing the current project spreadsheets.

I don't think I said quite what I meant, but you got the idea. I use LDView
mostly in a "small" windowed, non-maximized mode.

:-) Ok, got another..., Today I noticed while "playing" with LDView on a
computer without a scroll wheel, I couldn't change the zoom level. This is not
a new issue, but is there any way to use the "+", "-" (or some other
combination that makes sense) keys to change the zoom level?
