(to jump in, or to stay out. Decisions, decisions. Oh, what the heck.) Why wait for LDraw2 to come up with better ways to produce part-files? It would be *great* if LDraw2 can handle multiple source-file formats, but that's a different issue. I (...) (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.
