  ML vs LEO: how elements are shown in edit mode
 
It just hit me. Until just now I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get use to using MLCad, having started with LeoCad. It has to do with what elements are being shown on the screen. LeoCad shows: all the elements up to the current step MLCad shows: (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  MLCAD exploded view?
 
Can MLCAD do an exploded view of an already existing .mpd model? If not, is there any software that can? Thanks, Rand (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Connecting 2 .dat models  [DAT]
 
(...) One solution is to compose a new model file which reads from the two you want to combine. For example, compose a file called "model.dat", with contents like this: 1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 file1.dat 1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 file2.dat (...)

  Connecting 2 .dat models
 
Heya, I apologize if it was discused before but how can I get (or connect) two different .dat models into one .dat file ? I don't mean importing of multipart files. I need connecting of two .dat files 'cause I need all parts from both sets. Thanks! (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: MLCad Bug(s)
 
(...) Nevermind. Its not an MLCad problem at all. I saved the file by manually typing in .LDR, and later .DAT when LDR didn't work. I didn't change it on the drop down dialog from 'LeoCAD Project' to 'LDraw Model.' It appears the native LeoCAD (...) (23 years ago, 22-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

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)
 
  Re: Newbie Question
 
(...) 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)

  MLCad Bug(s)
 
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)
