LEGOFan.org frustrates me for three reasons. 1. LEGOFan.org is supposed to be the place were people from LEGO answer our questions about LDD (I'd even accept "Sorry, but I can't comment on that right now), but people from LEGO aren't answering or (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) Excellent question. We did get 2 rounds of answers but they weren't very "meaty". (...) I think as the article said, LEGO are constrained as to what they can say officially/publicly. But unofficially we're getting lots of winks, nods, thumbs (...) (19 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad, lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

(URL) For those of you following the efforts of LDD users in streamlining the bag use in LDD, CNET published a cool article about it, and LEGO's reaction to their work.

(...) Ya, I was thinking about my definition was too restrictive. I'm curious about the use of Jigs in sets in general. If the pieces used to make the jig are reused in some other way in the set I'd still consider it a jig worth hearing about. It's (...) (19 years ago, 14-Sep-05, to lugnet.general)
