I was think of creating a webpage with a script based on my LDDP plugin to create the code for flexible objects. This would allow those who, for whatever reason, cannot use LDDP to create bendible objects. Is there any interest in this? -Orion (23 years ago, 11-May-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
