[Equest-users] eQuest 3.65 build 7173 - Wire frame mode

Tue Nov 1 10:46:42 PDT 2016

If in 3D view you click on the "black" outside the model drawing, then 
hit "W" you get the 3D view in wire frame mode.  Can be useful for 
finding wayward surfaces.  Hitting "S" returns you to solid view.

I am in 7173 and it is still working for me.

Also interesting -- hitting "J" puts a .jpeg of the 3d view in the model 
directory.
