Hi Trevor,

I have another suggestions:

Would it be possible to sort the LPUB metacommands by type?
When working on a file I make settings to the page, the PLI, assem, stepgroup, etc. where I see fit and to try various things.
LPub3D creates a line with the metacommand for global setting on top of the file, but it does that in the order that one makes the settings it. Which is logic.

Once hapy with all settings I "sort" all commands by type and "group" them by adding command zero's between every section.
Here is a pice of LDraw code lines of a model I have and should illustrate what I mean:

Code:
FILE name.ldr

Name

Name: name.ldr

So I wonder if it is possible to force LPub to kind of sort the metacommands that go together in a certain group? For instance starting with page settings, then assembly, stepnumber multistep, PLI, callout, etc. (not the way I sorted above example btw)
