Hi Jack,
I used LDraw to make the model, so I'm not sure what the preview X's are in
MLCad. I can help you with your other question though.
There are a bunch of programs you can use to collect multi-part models into one
file. The one I used is MP Builder by Jacob Sparre Anderse. It can be
downloaded at
http://hugin.ldraw.org/meyer/LEGO/V%e6rkt%f8j/
To reverse this process, you can use Jacob's MPD Splitter, which can also be
downloaded from that same site. To run it, just put a copy of it in the same
directory asthe MPD files, and type:
splitmpd <LEGOATST.mpd
Of course, substitute whatever the filename is in place of LEGOATST.
If you have trouble with this, let me know, and I can put the non-MPD files on
my webpage.
Hope this helps,
shaun
