  Re: Question about MLCAD colors
 
I agree with Lars Hassing about keeping it LDraw compatible, I was just thinking it would look better if the lines were displayed as black (unless a piece is black, then use dark grey) at all times. I tend to do screen shots at times and the bright (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Michael, In reference to the Main and Edge colors... If I color a part red the edges are bright red. Is there a way to have the edge colors black or dark gray? Is there a reason for the odd edge colors? Joe (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
