Hi CAD gang,
Just poking my nose in from the inventory group next door. ML-CAD can generate
a parts list from any DAT file, so the Repository could perhaps be a great
source for inventories. Could I suggest that anyone making official models,
include comments about parts that are changed or left out because the proper
parts aren't created yet, or other differences like printing? There are a lot
of sets not yet inventoried - Space is very bare indeed - and if people are
making accurate models, then an inventory wouldn't need to be done separately.
Probably links could be set up to include the Repository in the collection of
linked databases existing in and around LUGNET, as well. What do you think?
Cheers, Heather
