As a complete MLCad newbie, I started to play around with it last night. Much to my surprise, I noticed that MLCad does not recognize a "file" object inside an MPD if it has no extension known to LDraw.
So torso.dat and hips.ldr work fine
But "rleg.txt", "lleg.foo" and "rarm" were "not found" by MLCad (v3.30), even thought the Type 1 references and the "0 FILE..." names are exact matches.
As MLCad plays such a central role in the LDraw software family, I suppose it is "illegal" not to have either .dat or .ldr extension for objects inside an MPD, even though it presents no problems for LDView, L3P, or L3Lab?
