These sound like two different problems. (...) This is 'inlining'. To do this in MLCAD, do this: 1. Open walker.dat in MLCAD. 2. Use Multipart | Import Model... to import leg.dat into walker.dat. 3. Set the Active Model to walker.dat. 4. Use File | (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Yeah, I am having trouble posting files myself for something along these same reasons -- how to post files that include submodels. I am trying to look at Steve Lane's Zoid model, and I surmise he is having a similar problem. -- Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Michael - When you go into the new parts dialog (key shortcut I) and select 'custom part,' the open file dialog doesn't support .LDR. It only allows MPD and DAT, so you have to key in *.ldr manually to view LDR files. Also, I have another problem, a (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Ok, I think I understand. If I understand correctly, you just want to place the sub files into your main file so that they display in the correct place? Try this: Drop down the Active Model list, just above the list of pieces in your model. Remember (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Thomas, You can make your main file an MPD and load the extra models into it. On the Main Menu, select "MultiPart", then "Import Model...". That might do what you'd like. Hope that helps.
