How does that scan_order thing work?
I've added three more paths in mlcad.ini, but the parts in these folders don't
show up anywhere in MLCad.
[SCAN_ORDER]
1 = SHOW Parts
2 = HIDE Parts\s
3 = HIDE P
4 = HIDE P\48
5 = SHOW NewParts
6 = HIDE NewParts\s
7 = SHOW MyParts

hi niels,
the code looks fine. please check the following two things:
* lets persume that that MLCad.exe and MLCad.ini is stored in:
c:\Programs\MLCad
and the parts are in:
c:\Programs\MLCad\Parts
then your custom parts have to be placed in
c:\Programs\MLCad\NewParts
c:\Programs\MLCad\MyParts
because the custom folders are defined with the relative path.
* because of the scan order you defined MLCad will ignor parts with an identical
number in NewParts and MyParts. if you are workin' on fixes stored in NewParts
you have to invert the scan order.
hope this helps,
w.

My folder structure is as follows:
D:\LDraw\MLCad_V3.10\ includes MLCad 3.10 install, including MLCad.exe and MLCad.ini
D:\LDraw\Parts\
D:\LDraw\Parts\S
D:\LDraw\P\
D:\LDraw\P\48\
D:\LDraw\NewParts\
D:\LDraw\NewParts\S\
D:\LDraw\MyParts\
NewParts and MyParts contain only new parts (which don't exist in Parts)
I have changed the section to full paths:
[SCAN_ORDER]
1 = SHOW Parts
2 = HIDE Parts\s
3 = HIDE P
4 = HIDE P\48
5 = SHOW D:\LDraw\NewParts
6 = HIDE D:\LDraw\NewParts\s
7 = SHOW D:\LDraw\MyParts
I launch MLCad by doubleclicking on D:\LDraw\MLCad_V3.10\MLCad.exe from the
explorer.
Still no success.

Personally I would like to see a standard parts structure like this, at least
for MLCAD;
Parts
oldparts
unoffparts
myparts
Parts would be the officially released parts
oldparts would be where old official parts are moved to when they are updated
unoffparts is just that, unapproved parts not part of official release
myparts is where you can develop new parts.
In MLCAD you click on the parts list you want and get only the parts in that
list.
when you display an existing model and the part exists in more than one list,
display a selection box to allow the person to select the version of the part
they want to use.
there would have to be a way to move parts between lists and possible a method
to allow the user to move parts form list to list or even delete parts for one
or more lists.
that is the basic idea. I know it would be a complex process to code, but it is
worth a thought or 2.

Do a scan parts from the file menu, then it should work.

I did a scan parts from the file menu, still no success.
I even tried to change the order:
[SCAN_ORDER]
1 = SHOW NewParts
2 = HIDE NewParts\s
3 = SHOW Parts
4 = HIDE Parts\s
5 = HIDE P
6 = HIDE P\48
7 = SHOW MyParts
No success.
I tried adding backslashes at the end:
[SCAN_ORDER]
1 = SHOW NewParts\
2 = HIDE NewParts\s\
3 = SHOW Parts\
4 = HIDE Parts\s\
5 = HIDE P\
6 = HIDE P\48\
7 = SHOW MyParts\
No success.
The OS I tried this on is:
Windows NT Version 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 6

Sorry about this stupid question:
Are you sure you are using version 3.10 of MLCad?
Because 3.00 is not able to deal with that!

I am aware of that it is a new function in version 3.10.
When I select Help, About MLCad it shows
MLCad Version 3.10
Copyright (c) 1999-2004 by Michael Lachmann
I just installed MLCad 3.10 on Windows XP Home Edition,
and changed the SCAN_ORDER section in MLCad.ini.
Launched MLCad.exe and selected File, Scan Parts.
Also no success.
Do other users of MLCad 3.10 have this working?

Hello Michael and Niels,
I just checked for myself, I have the same problem.
paths for me are: D:\lego\ldraw\MLCad_V3.10
the unofficial parts are here:
D:\lego\ldraw\unoff\parts
and
D:\lego\ldraw\unoff\p
First I had a longer name for "unoff".
Here is the part from the mlcad.ini:
[SCAN_ORDER]
1 = SHOW Parts
2 = HIDE Parts\s
3 = HIDE P
4 = HIDE P\48
5 = SHOW d:\lego\ldraw\unoff\parts
6 = HIDE d:\lego\ldraw\unoff\parts\s
7 = HIDE d:\lego\ldraw\unoff\p
8 = HIDE d:\lego\ldraw\unoff\p\48
For me it is not working either.
btw: the language file is also not working anymore...
Greetings from the Netherlands

hi,
it is working smoothly on my win2000+SP4 with the following config:
c:\Programme\MLCad\MLCad.exe
c:\Programme\MLCad\PARTS
c:\Programme\MLCad\PARTS\s
...
c:\Programme\MLCad\Eigene_Parts
[SCAN_ORDER]
1 = SHOW Parts
2 = HIDE Parts\s
3 = HIDE P
4 = HIDE P\48
5 = SHOW UnofficialParts
6 = HIDE UnofficialParts\s
7 = SWOW Eigene_Parts
Maico, your dutch version is no longer working 'cos 3.10 is no longer supporting
the old language-dll version 1.1. jaco van der molen is currently upgrading the
dutch dll to 1.2 (in case he is not too busy with his brand new MOC, the biggest
he ever did - it weight 3 kg something ;-)
3.10 currently supports solely german, italian and (thx to miguel) spanish.
hope it helps,
w.

I will try this kind of setup again.
If it works for you, it should work for me too!
Thanks

Hmm, I think we will see it at LEGO World...
About the language dll, I think I have read something about that, but no it
is confirmed, thanks

Let's hope so!
