(...) Hi James, Don't worry. "Part Unknown" in MLCad only means the part is not in the ldraw/parts directory. So even official draw primitives are "Part Unknown" because they are in ldraw/p directory. Otherwise primitives display correctly and no (...) (22 years ago, 18-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I have not delved much into the inner workings of parts, but I'm using Thomas Burger's x814 6x6 "bubble" windscreen in a model. I took his file and included it in my MPD as another part. When I view the part (or open the x814.dat file by itself), (...) (22 years ago, 18-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
