Great work Michael! Can you give me directions on how to update the Dutch translation? Thanks. Jaco P.S. Will you be fixing the GHOST error with the MLCadArrow? (19 years ago, 3-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad)

Hi, finaly I had the time to release a new version of MLCad. It doesn't come with a lot of new features, but I think nice once and some error corrections as well. You can find all the details in the release notes wich are in the zip - file. I guess (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad) !

Hi folks, rotating a group of parts in MLCad using its rotation point feature can be quite laborious: you have to enter co-ordinates, names, might deal with different points or tweak the exact position on-screen... This tutorial will show you an (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jun-05, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) Travis, I understand 3D rotation matricies enough to know that they let you rotate around any axis, but I think MLCad's GUI only lets you rotate about, X, Y, or Z, because of limitations of its user interface. Michael has meta-commands for (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
