I'm a newbie to Lcad and MLcad. I just downloaded the files today. I am trying to find the piece that consists of a 1x2 plate with a 1x4 thin plate attached at a 90 degree angle. To see what I' talking about, follow the link below: (URL) piece I'm (...) (24 years ago, 26-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad)

(...) Well, after rendering at 300% and then scaling the images down again, I achieved an effect like that of anti aliasing. If I hadn't scaled down the image, the effect would simply be "thicker lines", as you say. It all depends on the useage of (...) (24 years ago, 26-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Oh, I agree totally. (except do you mean anti aliasing? I'd call it "thicker lines") The images are very nice indeed. My issue is that I can't get a clean rendering of every step in every submodel of an MPD without jumping through some severe (...) (24 years ago, 26-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I've used this feature in LDLITE, and I'd say it's a great way to achieve an anti aliasing effect on the renderings. You simply render at 300%, say, with thick lines enabled. Then you scale down the resulting image. Here are a couple of (...) (24 years ago, 25-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad)
