View Log File: Log File Viewer
Description
The Log File Viewer is a text-based viewer for viewing a log file generated by Straus7 during importing, automeshing or solving.
Contents of log files can be selectively displayed, searched and printed.
You can conveniently drag-and-drop multiple result log files (i.e., files with extension .LSL, NFL, etc.) onto a log file viewer to open them in separate log file viewers.
