(...) Cool idea. (...) Is there an advantage to stuffing them in a separate subfile, other than neatness? That approach *requires* the use of MPD for storage. If they could scoped to be 'located' in specific subfiles (or the main file), that would (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I like this idea of storing the rotation data. But I wouldn't restrict it to mpd but store it in any dat file ... This allows having different rotation points per sub-model. I will forsee something like the statement suggested from Sproaticus (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Cool! :-, (...) (Also answering Steve's post) Nah, I wasn't thinking of restricting it to a sub-file only, but rather to have the option of doing so. In fact, for simple one-off models (which the majority of mine are, anyway), it would be best (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) An MPD header, hmmm? Handy for storing metadata, non-DAT directives, loose change, etc... I *really* like this idea. How many MPD-capable tools would need changes to allow this? Is non-DAT content before the first 0 FILE generally ignored? (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) But an include function is different from a subfile function. Basically, anything in a subfile is scoped to that subfile, and doesn't exist outside of the subfile. Yet another reason for a 0 INCLUDE (or 0 MACRO) meta-statement. Steve (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) The original definition for MPD states that data before the first 0 FILE statement will be ignored. This is because it was assumed that MPD streams would appear mostly in e-mail messages with included DAT content. Something like: ===...=== Hi! (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
