I totally agree, we should find a public or freeware CAD program to do the mundane for us in modeling. I also agree that finding something we can all agree on would be monumental task. I would love to be able to use MAX output ( as I've previous (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

The *strength* of LDRAW is the Type 2 and Type 5 lines. They are key to making rendered instruction sheet output look good. AC3D is a modeller that supports both triangles and lines, with POV and DXF output. I encourage you to check it out at: (URL) (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Going back to the question of new line-types in LDraw2, if we had all the curved-surface types, there would be little or no use for the Type-5 line, as long as we could specify that a specific object should be outlined/edged. Or have separate (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Don't confuse your names; I did not write the DAT2DXF program, I think that might have been Paul Evans Bauch (spelling?). I don't have ACAD, but I use DXF files as a common file format. The registered version of AC3D includes source for a DXF (...) (26 years ago, 17-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
