you may not be aware... but you can go to Options|Options in LDLite (1.6) and
set the X and Y offset to move your model in LDLite render space... -X values
will move the model to the left, +X to the right... -Y values move the model up
and +Y moves it down...
currently there is a bug in the LDLite offset options that prohibit entry of
negative values (at least that's what i'm experiencing on my machine) but if
you launch LDLite from LDAO then you can fully set +/- X/Y values for offset in
the LDAO main window (down in the lower right, "Center Offset") and then hit
your LDLite button...
the concept of "auto centering" has been addressed before (i personally would
love this feature) but it requires the entire .dat/.mpd file be parsed once to
capture the "bounding box" (furthest points in all dimensions) of then model
before a second parse draws the model itself using the centering coordinates
calculated on the first pass... either this or the entire model gets loaded in
memory, bounding box calc'd, then the model is drawn... either way slows the
process... speaking from the point of someone who is working on two .DAT
parsing programs right now, i understand the headache involved, but think we
should push for it in the near future...
