  MLCAD problem
 
Hi all, I downloaded MLCAD to my PC and ran into the following problem. I cannot seem to locate any of the basic bricks, e.g. a 1x4 or 2x4 etc. It seems like I do not have those in my downloaded file. Any ideas why that may be, or am I just looking (...)

  Re: There has to be an easier way.
 
Hi Michael; I get the same problem. When I drop a new part in the "list of parts in the model" it will show up at 0,-8,0 (or close to it depending on the size of the part- the "y" value will change, but x,z=0). I have tried selecting the "part which (...) (24 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Is there a way to drag a part from the part window into the model, and have it put in the same location of the previous part? Every time I drag a part into the overhead view, it ends up at z=0. -John Van (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
