Okay, this is my second posting (the first was to lugnet.cad) about PerlLD which is my little Perl/Tk/OpenGL modeller. You can use it for creating & viewing complete models but my intent is to use it to make parts (loading gets slower as the size of (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

In Australia, I have some sets in the 1998 LEGO catalogue - I haven't received this year's catalogue yet - that are in a category known as Competition. In this catalogue, are listed numbers 8223, 8202, 8266, 8257, and 8245. All of these throw either (...) (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.

I think valid drawing lines before the first "0 FILE" of an MPD file should not be allowed (comments and garbage lines are OK). Either it is an MPD file, or it is not. If valid drawing lines are encountered first, well, here's an example of what (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
