I don't have as much of a problem with that, but it's not as high quality as
I'd like.
Long term I think the ability to plug in different render engines is in
plan. I do see this as a bit of a problem and would be interested in the
opinions of others as to what the best render engine to use is when the goal
is to make printable instructions. I would continue to use MLCad to design
but use something else to make final renders.

Try asking again would be my suggestion... as with all of us, I'm sure ML
goes through phases where he's pretty busy and phases where he's not.
