Got it! the line was not there. I have played with this quite a bit, so
I'll try to explain what it did.
L3lab was set to the default viewer, when I open the part to edit, L3lab
also starts and changes the part view as changes are made. :D The bad side
is when I close the editor window, l3lab tries to close and gives an error.
"Page fault" I believe. The error does not happen with LDLite.
The "Render" button will use the viewer program specified, but the viewer
will not update. I'm not sure if this is supposed to update.
The options|View Settings... now works.
Does the fourth option in that menu work for you? If I select it, and
choose a program, the options|view settings menu is broke again. Now
ldraw.ini has ShowViewWindow=0.
After I was done playing there, I ran LDView, then dragged the ld***.tmp
file onto it, It updates as the changes happen. (I thought I had tried this
before.)

yep, not sure why, but it working now.

| Paul, Just for grins, try the following to manually set the Editor's viewing option. 1. Edit ldraw.ini 2. Locate the section [LDAO Editor]. If that line doesn't exist, add it. 3. In the [LDAO Editor] section, look for a line like: ShowViewWindow=2 (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
