Here's my first build!
Can I please get some help from someone more proficient at advanced editing. I need to feed the gas line and the supercharger belt correctly and I've spend all day being unable to get the 'insert' button to do what it should. I'm sure I'm just repeatedly making noob mistakes because I've managed to get the other two belts on correctly.
I'd really like some feedback on this build. I spent about a week with it on my desk as a paperweight before being urged to share it and came across this website and program(s).
As someone who uses (Auto)CAD professionally, I appreciate that this community exists: it's clearly useful and very functional, so thanks for any additional input/support!
Enjoy!

It looks like all your hoses are static parts, not flexible templates like the rubber bands are. Also there seems to be some extraneous copies of the rubber band template in your file, so maybe that's what the insert key has been doing?
To add flexible parts for the hoses, etc., just drag them in from the "templates" part bin like any other part. (Or you can keep using INS, just be sure the template you want is selected in the part bin first.) Then you can go into nested editing and move the control points around where you need them.
Another thing I notice is that a lot of your parts use color 16; you'll want to assign them their proper physical color. You can select one part and then choose Select->Working part and color (in LDCad) to assign a whole bunch at once.
