(...) Right now (MLCAD 1.5), you can right-click a view, and change *that window* to one of the standard views. But you can't add new view-definitions, like "upside down" or "right-front-below" (aka, pit-crew view angle). LDAO allows these types of (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
