You are right. That is absolutely what it did. I went through my sub models
one by one to:
- Create a comment line telling me where each submodel started
- Opened both the master file and the submodel file in Notepad
- Copied the submodel below the comment
- Opened MLCAD and selected the appropriate parts for that "submodel" in the
textual part listing
- Moved it into position
Took a while since I had several sub models. Dan, I would love to see a
program like that!
