Ok, I tried separating the mpd into two files and put the cable synthesis pf_cable.dat file into the unofficial\parts directory and I think this is sorta what you're looking for.
I wonder if there's a way to do this and still keep it all together in an mpd file... Maybe if the pf_cable.dat file header says it's an unofficial part?
Yes that does work. Add "0 !LDRAW_ORG Unofficial_Part" to the the synthesized part in the mpd file like this.
That reminds me, I really need to read the LPub Manual. Perhaps there's a better way...
