(...) I don't think you're missing anything obvious. The LDAO editors look at two sections in ldraw.ini for which views to include in that dropdown, [Views] and [View Moves]. A view has to be defined in both sections. [Views] gives the viewing angle (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
