(...) Yes, I did use your spring2dat program. Excellent job! I was able to adjust and re-create a spring to fit in seconds! Only one change you need to make, The Description and Author lines get thier data swapped. No biggie, it's easy to adjust (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

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)

A few things to note. First off, I added command line support relatively late in my LDView development. Second, my initial command line support had some issues causing it to only work in certain situations. However, the latest released version (1.0) (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
