(...) A general, reproducible, adjustable, redo-able solution to this is to write up a couple of LDLite's ROTATION commands, and then translate the commands to standard LDraw gdl. For example, to duplicate MLCAD's view, write: 0 ROTATE 23 1 0 0 0 (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi Jeroen, MLCad does currently not support including mpd's into other files! The result when doing it are uncontrolled. Alternativly you can extract all the files from the mpd and import them into another project. Regards, Michael (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
