I designed a model in LDD 1.6 and hit the "Check Price" button. When I got to the Factory page, it showed my model, but without a price and listed it as "Not Available." Why is it doing this? -- Thomas Main thomasmain@charter.net (18 years ago, 19-Sep-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.ldd)

One more tip - if you want to check all your XML is marked up correctly and you haven't made any mistakes, just double-click the file. It'll open in Internet Explorer (unless your name's Christopher and you have a MAC... ;-). You should see a neatly (...) (18 years ago, 30-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad.ldd)
