Anton???
Anders!!!

No, LCD wouldn't apply to BlockCAD, as it already has it's own 'snap' system:

Everything is just a 'block', and can only be put 'on top' of other blocks.
The studs really don't _exist_, they are just painted. There are _no_ degrees
of freedom, and everything is sooo simple to code :-)

Not only center point, but also orientation of the part, but that's not really
a problem, just more data...
