There's been discussion of having a protocol for dragging parts between L-CAD
applications, it would be cool to have an "LD Palette" program which • displayed
all the remaining parts, which you could then drag onto MLCAD.  As you • dragged
the parts, they would disappear from "LD Palette".

Piece o' cake! I gave it an hour...

LDList ver 3.6 can load a set description,  containing a lot of lines like:

<count> <piece number>

and will limit the display to the parts that are noted in the set list (also
displays the counts).

Now, if you only fix the drag-and-drop in LDAO, you would also be able to see
that you can drag parts from LDList, and the number gets decremented for each
part dropped (if accepted). This can be tested by dropping on the LDList
rendering.

No way to put pieces back though, you'll have to start from the beginning
again.
There should probably be a 'save state', so the building could be interrupted,
and continued at a later time - but who cares, when no building programs
support the drop yet?

LDList can be found at:

BTW, is there an acknowledged format for a 'set inventory' file?
