  Help?-Odd problem
 
I downloaded James Mathis's wwym .mpd file. All of the sub models work fine. On the assembled and instruction files the model comes out the size of a pin head (no exageration).

(...) Can you post the link to the file? I'd like to help and acutally think I know what the problem is but I'd like to see the file to confirm it. -Orion (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Hmm..
