   Good point - including steps is an important step for making instructions. Had you not done so originally? I am fortunate in that I was in the habit of LDrawing models step-by-step even before I tried LPub. Credit is probably due to Bricksmith’s hierarchical file contents list for starting that habit.

Well - I try to do that, but often forget... and looking at the generated instructions, I often see areas where things would be easier to follow when done another way (eg small assembly callouts you mentionned).

  
   It would be interesting for me to see the mpd file that was used to create that awaresome building instruction. I am yet not familar with LPub4 to get such results.

The file is on another computer, I’ll send it to you as soon as I can...

   If you are having difficulty placing callouts, note that there is a bug in LPub 4.0 which inserts the callout placement command in the submodel instead of where the submodel is referenced. I understand that Kevin has fixed this but I don’t think an update has been released. I just cut-and-paste to work around it; Philo might have done the same thing (?).

Yes, that’s exactly what I did.
