I hate to ask an obvious question, but I can't seem to figure it out. How do you extract the MLCAD zip file to the LDraw directory? Thanks Steve (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Yes - It would be great to have a camera file. We would need a "lookat" file as well. Thanks again Michael for such an excellent piece of software.

Alright, alright, nevermind. I was mis-remembering what version I was running. The jump from 1.9 to 1.99 confused me. That, and the fact that I just work up...

I've never tried to use camera options until now, but I think we can enhance that if we have a camera-file (like the light.dat) which L3P counts in.
