What does inline mean, in the context of an LDraw data file?

0

From Steve Bliss: ! Inlining is the process of replacing a subfile reference with the contents of the subfile. Like this: b = 12*a a = c + 3 If you inlined a into b, you d get: b = 12*c + 36 Of course, it s slightly more complicated in LDraw-world. Inlining is good, because it allows you to design parts/models using several files, but only distribute a single LDraw file. Inlining is bad because each reference to a subfile must be replaced with the complete contents of the subfile, which can increase the file size by a large amount. The only inlining tool that I know of is the inliner in LDraw Add-On. http://members.home.com/steve.
