  zoom function
 
Is there a way to set up MLCAD so that when I do a zoom in, say change from 100 percent view to 300 percent view, to have the view centered on the part that is currently selected? It is a minor thing, but something that i would like to be able to (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: Maximum Coarse movement
 
(...) Shure, I will take care on that. In the mean time you could move the part using the mouse and a small scale factor in the viewing pane. That should help a little bit. Michael (23 years ago, 30-May-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Maximum Coarse movement
 
Michael, Why is the Maximum Coarse movement limited to 100? If one is moving pieces long distances frequently, using the Enter Position/Rotation dialog box can become tiresome. Could you perhaps increase the limit to, say, 250 or so? Regards, --Ryan (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Differences between rotation points
 
I am working on making some parts, and I have a couple of questions regarding rotation points. . What is the difference between Part Origin, Part Center, and Part Rotation Point in the Rotation Point dialog box (MLCad)? . Is the Part Rotation Point (...)

  Re: Technics beams and plates?
 
Well if your useing MLcad, go to 'file' and select 'scan parts'. This will ask you if you want to add any new parts it finds to the directory. When I installed MLcad I had to do this twice before I had all the parts that were soposed to be there! (...) (23 years ago, 14-May-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Technics beams and plates?
 
I'm trying to build my first L-draw / MLcad model, and my first step was to use a 1x10 technic beam, and since my parts list only has 1x2 and 1x14, my virtual creation stopped before it started. I'll bet there is a simple way to convert the 1x14 (...) (23 years ago, 14-May-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
