    MultiModelSupport
    Codes for Models

    Models use keycode  M

    M internal Model

    Using internal sub-models in Cad mode:

      Select sub-models from a list (using middle mouse button)
      - or select an existing sub-model ()

    Position,Orientation
      Origin and orientation of the submodel

    [Scale]:   magnifying scale; default is 1

    Examples:
    # Internal Submodel "SM1", rotated 45 degree around z-axis, scale=2
    M20="SM1" R(P(100 0) 45) VAL(2)

    - External sub-models are internally cached, but not stored with the model
    - the model name must not include a path (and no '/' or '\').
    - all exported objects of the submodel (its joints) will be imported
       Text of imported notes will be queried newly.)

    Using external sub-models in Manual mode:

      By keying in eg:
      M28=”Data/Mod1.gcad” P (0 0 0) DZ DIY

    Creation of internal sub-models:

    - Menu subModels / move main - new submodel
        copy (move) all objects of the active main model to a sub-model

    - Menu subModels / load sub-model from file
        Load a model from a file into a new (external) sub-model.

    - Menu subModels / save active submodel to file
        - save internal-submodel to file (makes external-model)

    M external Model

    Using external sub-models in Manual mode:

    Positioning an external sub-model

    Submodel
      - Select a modelfile from list (or use middle-mousebutton)  )
      - or select an existing sub-model
      Modelname: see Symbolic filenames.

    Position,Orientation
      Origin and orientation of the submodel

    [Scale]:   magnifying scale; default is 1

    The filename can have a symbolic-pathname and also system-variables.
    External sub-models are internally cached, but not stored with the model.

    Examples:
    M20="Data/Niet1.gcad" R(P(100 0) DIY) VAL(0.5)
    M21="Data/wsh14.stp" R(P(200 0))
    M22="Data/obj43.wrl" R(P(0 0 0) R20)     # Mockup-Model

    Using external sub-models in Manual mode:

      By keying in eg:
      M28=”Data/Mod1.gcad” P (0 0 0) DZ DIY

    Creation of external sub-models:

    - Menu subModels / load sub-model from file
        Load a model from a file into a new (external) sub-model.

    - Menu subModels / save active submodel to file
        - save internal-submodel to file (makes external-model)

    M CatalogPart

    Using CatalogParts in CAD mode:

    Positioning an Catalog-Part

    CatalogPart
      - Select a catalogPart from list (or use middle-mousebutton)
      - or select an existing catalogPart  ()
      The catalogPartname consists of catalog name, part name; see Catalog.

    Position,Orientation
      Origin and orientation of the submodel

    [Scale]:   magnifying scale; default is 1

    Example external Model:
    M22="Schrauben/SKS_10x30.ctlg" P20 VAL(1)

    Using CatalogParts in Manual mode:

      By keying in eg:
      M28=”Profile/6x4_150.ctlg” P (0 0 0) DZ DIY

    Creation of CatalogParts:
      See CatalogParts.
