Hi Micheal,

I am wondering if it would be possible to use an unique identifier for each
part belonging to a specific funcionality in the model. With this I mean:

I would like to model for example the Technic Space Shuttle in MLCad and to
see only the functionality of the model by selecting in a combobox a number.
So if I would selected number 1 I would only see the whole mechanism of
the flaps. Number 2 would could show me for example the turning mechanism
of the shuttle's arm. 3 the satelite opening and so on.

I think it would not be wise to put this extra number in the *.dat file (INPUT
from others here as well), but perhaps in a accompaning MLCAD meta file (so
only used by MLCAD).

DO you get my idea?

LEGO did this one's I believe with the old forklift (850 I believe, but
brickshelf.com doesn't show it).

You can do that in a similar way already now:
Select the parts by functionality (e.g. turning mechanism parts) and group
them. Once you've grouped all parts, you can easely hide/unhide the groups
as you like...
Until now it's not possible to save the groups, but MLCad V2.00 will be able
to save this information as well.

(...) You can also convert the file to an MPD, and make a subfile for each functional element of the model. Steve (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
