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

pictures I am unable to do this.

Tim Courtney tells me the file works fine for him.

I have tried re-downloading the file-no change.

I set all mlcad options to defaul-no change.

I have never encountered this problem with any other file.

I have tried zooming in and re-saving file-no change.

Anyone have any idea what may be happening or what the fix may be????

Thanks in advance-Ken

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.

Hey, That's a really nifty truck.  Maybe the problem is the
ROTATION CONFIG line for the main model.  If you scan the file
you'll see all the subfiles have this:

  0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0

But the wwym_truck_v8_instructions.ldr subfile does this.

  0 ROTATION CONFIG -2 0

Don't know why that would make it behave oddly though.  All the
subfiles seem to set the part rotation point to the part origin so
it shouldn't matter.
