Version 1.2.5 is up. I added a (much-requested) command line textbox that shows the output before it is sent to L3P. This allows the user to see exactly what every switch and checkbox does as s/he changes settings. As always, here's the place: (URL) (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) True, but since these are merely parts files and as such will reside in the LDRAW\PARTS directory, I think the *type* of file will be obvious.

Hey gang, For a while now I've wanted a way to sort the entries in a .DAT file according to X-Y-Z coordinates, that way after I build a file in MLCad I can sort the elements so they're in an order much like original LEGO instructions (bottom to top, (...)
