Yes, and the fun thing about the LDCad group next meta's is they currently only get moved / added to the correct place at save time. So I'm thinking to just remove/hide them from the source window all together as they aren't interesting during editing anyhow.

Indeed, and I'm also wondering about the fact I keep track of the selection 'click order' in the 3D view while you probably want line order in the source window.
Philippe Hurbain Wrote:Another concern is ROTSTEP meta - how to make this convenient?
I'm currently not really familiar with LPUB but adding parse level awareness support for it shouldn't be a big problem. Maybe even apply that rotation information in a new special part bin building group or something.
