I just drove past DigiPen and there's a strong probability that the building is unavailable today. Fortunately I've been able to reserve meeting room #1 at the Redmond Regional Library, so we'll meet there instead. Redmond Regional Library Meeting (...)

  Looking for Guelph (*and area) Builders???
 
Well, since I have just recently moved into this lovely city of Guelph and I am not working, and missing all my friends and family... COMBINED with the fact that I actually started building again. I am looking for anyone in the Guelph area, that (...) (15 years ago, 30-May-09, to lugnet.loc.ca.on)
 
  You have a friend in me...
 
I have heard a few rumours about Lego and Pixar getting together... but this might be the first bit of proof I have seen. My son called me in to watch a YouTube trailer for the upcoming (read:eventually appearing in Theatres near you) for Toy Story (...) (15 years ago, 30-May-09, to lugnet.mediawatch)

  Re: DATHeader NEW as .NET application (version 2.0.1)
 
(...) I use it sometimes in the middle of part design to make sure I have a valid part header and be able to get smooth shading with LDView. Philo (15 years ago, 29-May-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Suggestion: !TYPE line
 
(...) Sounds logical, but if we would have that in this way we just could go and hard color the part. At this point you should not be so narrow to the real part. In our part files there should be only the geometric data defined. The color is defined (...) (15 years ago, 29-May-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Suggestion: !TYPE line
 
LEGO parts may vary in colour and pattern, but they are always of the same material. For example, there is no such thing as a Technic Axle 7 made of rubber or the Axle Flexible 7 that's solid, is there? Here I got an idea: have parts identify what (...)

  Re: LDraw.exe removed from distribution?
 
(...) I'd go with ldconfig.ldr. LDraw.exe is now legacy software (and is in fact not complaint with the current spec). Since ldconfig.ldr is per spec where color are defined, it should always be present in a 100% complaint distro. -Orion (15 years ago, 29-May-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: DATHeader NEW as .NET application (version 2.0.1)
 
(...) If I would make the "Old Header" and "New Header" larger it would not fit good to smaller desktops. I am thinking of make to whole window able to maximise. That would then help both of us. At present DATHeader is designed to output a file that (...) (15 years ago, 28-May-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: DATHeader NEW as .NET application (version 2.0.1)
 
Hello, I would like to have larger components "Old Header" and "New Header". Often the header does not fit to them and you have to scroll down both lists. And, please, make replacing "0" comments by "0 //" as option. This feature kill mlcad hide (...) (15 years ago, 28-May-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  LDraw.exe removed from distribution?
 
Hello all, I just downloaded the complete.zip and discovered LDraw.exe is no longer present. I take this is a step in creating the 100% CA distro? Anyhow, I always used LDraw.exe to validate (in LD4DStudio) if a folder is indeed the library's root. (...) (15 years ago, 28-May-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) I was aware of the Kiddiecraft connection, and that TLC bought all the remaining rights from them at some point, but I thought the original Automatic Binding Bricks were a legally licensed copy/variation of the Kiddiecraft bricks. If they (...) (15 years ago, 28-May-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) That's hardly some freak coincidence. The original 1949 Lego brick was an unauthorized copy of the Kiddicraft Self-Locking Building Brick, invented by an Englishman named Hilary Page. When the Christiansens got samples of them from the British (...) (15 years ago, 28-May-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) Center-to-center, of course. The stud diameters differ by 0.028 between the drawings too, creating a diff of the gaps of 0.046 (but the length of the parts are exactly the same). (...) Well, the drawings are of parts, not molds (and the parts (...) (15 years ago, 27-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) That much? Wow. I figured the distance between two studs should be closer to 3mm, since a LEGO tile is (in theory) 3.2mm thick, and it will sorta fit between two studs. Or were you refering to the center-to-center distance? Anyways, one thing (...) (15 years ago, 27-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
