In my opinion, the whole rendering system should be made Direct3D although that I know will create problems with culling. What really bugs me though is the EXTREMLEY difficult-to-use 3D rotaton. What happened to any kind of coordination at all? Not (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I am in no way saying MLCad is bad, just the 3d view rotation. By the way, you were wrong about both of those programs being paid for, ZModeler is free.
