the BLdb works offline, but you have good ideas, perhaps in the version 2 (i
hope finish v.1 in April)

the only thing that BLdb do for now is import the MLCad files created on

but i think in import direct from dat/ldr files.

in the beginnig i has thinking in that. i abandoned the idea because i'll
never use this, perhaps i'll reconsidered...

my english is very bad and in the BLdb post i ask for a friend help, perhaps
the translation not said what i think. the BLdb works offline, maybe one day
(the bricklink idea) will works online...
