Hi Kevin,

Nathaniel,
I've written a program called LPub that takes an LDraw file of your
super-car and creates building instructions automatically.  You lay out all
your steps using MLCad, hand the file(s) to LPub and it creates all the
construction images (one per step or rotation step), as well as part list
images per step.  It also creates an image of all the parts needed for the
entire car.  Once, you start LPub generating building instructions it
requires no human interaction to create all the imagery.


Thanks for your advise and I'll defenitely read the articles. It might be
interested for future projects (I'll may use it for the helicopter airwolf,
which is already a Ldraw file. This isn't a complex design so it is perfect
for learning and understand your program and the possibilities of it.)
The problem is that I made the Sportscar in Solidworks. I don't know if
there is any program that can convert this mega assembly to Ldraw. I didn't
know of Ldraw by than..

LSynth (a tool that synthesizes bendable LDraw parts like rubber bands and tubes.)  I wrote
Lsynth because it is hard to document advanced designs without bendable parts.


I certainly will make my GTcar in Ldraw and I'm very curious about the
feature of bending parts. If I'll have some questions regarding your
programs I take the liberty to revert to you and ask. I'm not quite into
this programs yet. ;)

Thanks Nathanael.
