I have greatly improved the features and functionality of ColorManager, and I
now think it is suitable for use by everyone who uses MLCAD.
Color Manager has two main features:
1) After choosing a color from the list, ColorManager can filter (reduce) your
parts list to only those pieces that are available for sale (from Bricklink) in
the color that you choose. This allows you to use rare colors in your model and
have some confidence that the parts you use will be available for sale.
2) ColorManager can also update the pallet of colors inside MLCAD in one of
two ways: a) Convert the colors from LDConfig.ldr, but keep the names that
MLCAD uses. This will prevent MLCAD from writing code to your model that is not
necessary. b) Convert the colors from LDConfig.ldr using the names in the
file, which are nearly identical to the BrickLink names.
If you tried it before, please try it again. It packs all new features that
make it much more user-friendly:
automatically running MLCAD afterward
detection of MLCAD running before action taken
improved proxy server handling
improved speed of parts filtering
customizable maximum file age before update
feedback text on what the program is working on
conversion of LDconfig.ldr to MLCAD.cfg
conversion includes ability to handle custom edge colors
