I'm hardly working on previewing the sub-models. The problem with it is that
if you edit a sub-model which is used in another sub-model (e.g. you have
two sub-models A and B. A includes B and you are editing B) you are
modifying the view of the sub-model using it as well (means A is changed as
well if you change B ...).
So without redrawing the preview all the time I will have to freeze the
model previews until the modified one is saved ... otherwise MLCad would
redraw all the time :-(
