Hi Heather -
Good idea! Yes, MLCad can put out an inventory (and I think LeoCAD can too).
So, instead of looking up a set to inventory it, make a DAT file and then output
it. The only issue would be almost all of them are going to be MPDs, or
Multi-Part DAT files. This means you may have to output the inventory of a few
submodels...unless MLCad can handle inventory of the whole contents of an MPD.
Anyways... if this helps, more power to ya! :)
