I've got NT 4 Workstation, SP5 and I've got a problem with selecting parts using the mouse. With around 30 parts in the views if I try to "loop" around them with the mouse to select a group of them I sometimes get the following error: MLCAD.exe - (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

| | Re: Can this be done easily?

I think the problem is again the part itself. To line up parts you need to have reference points where you can line up. LDraw parts do not have such points. The same thing is valid for intersecting parts. I'm sure it's possible to detect that parts (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
