  Feature Suggestion
 
I have another MLCad feature suggestion - what about a tree view of all of a model's dependencies? It would be nice to be able to toggle on/off views of parts and primitives (and submodels for completeness). I'm sure it will be useful for part (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Feature Suggestion
 
I have a small request for MLcad too. (okay, so it might not be a small request) ;-) I use many folder levels as I create new parts. I would like to be able to view a folder on the left as the models folder does currenty. If this is already done, (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi Tim, would it be enough to have some sort of extra window opened on request and showing the tree of an individual selected part or mpd? Otherwice I guess the window would be overloaded and most of my users wouldn't have any benefit out of this (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi Paul, I was thinking about something like that but in a different more generic way: I could insert another path into the part search path just after any official path. Thus if you use unofficial parts which haven't been defined yet MLCad would (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Feature Suggestion
 
(...) Hmm, I see what you're saying. I am envisioning a tree where you can check if you want to see: • Submodels • Official Parts • Unofficial Parts • Primitives Each one can be checked/unchecked individually. So, say if I just wanted to see (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

I also have a suggestion. There could be included a "Search in Keywords" in the search tool. CU Bernd (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

When using Control-D the selected parts are duplicated all on te same position and you can place all (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Feature Suggestion
 
(...) Well, that was my suggestion about: placing the parts (like a windowframe and it's panes and shutters) without having to move the panes and shutters to their positions by hand. Niels (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
