I've read Virtual Lego, LDraw.org tutorials and even used your BrickFestPDX
Powerpoint Presentation in class. I've found them very helpful for creating
parts line-upon-line. However, I am inherently a very lazy programmer.
That's why I want to figure out how to use MLCAD as much as possible for parts
authoring. The easier it is for me, the easier it ought to be for the kids I
teach.
Thanks for the directions! We'll keep at it.
