| | | | | (...) I've not heard anything suggesting that addons are possible and I have my doubts that LEGO will be inclined to open its source (or if they even legally can since I believe it uses thrid-party libraries). Tim (18 years ago, 15-May-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

Any chance of LDView reading and rendering from LXFML in the future? I'm (...) (18 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

It doesn't support all zip compression schemes, but I suspect it will work. If I need XML parsing, I'll take a (...) (18 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)
