  How to use DAT files?
 
I've just installed mlcad forthe first time and am trying to get the mindstorms pieces for it. I found an RCX DAT file in this newsgroup, but when I downloaded it the file name was ldraw.cgi. I'm sorry if this is a basic question, but what do I do (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Two parts questions?
 
I'm looking for two parts. I don't know if they have been created yet or not, but here goes. Part 1: The telephone receiver piece that comes in the UCS Tie Interceptor. Part 2: The minifig Harpoon piece with angled handle that also comes in the UCS (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Hacked my first part -- 4349 Town Loudhailer  [DAT]
 
Hey all, Here's my first semi-successful attempt at (quasi-) parts-authoring. I'm extremely new at this, and would appreciate any feedback I can get on the changes I made to this part. What I did: I modified the part #4349 (Town Loudhailer) to have (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  (Ldraw) Help: how do I delete unwanted bitmaps?
 
Hi folks; I've tried a whole bunch of ways to get rid of unwanted pics. I put my Ledit/Ldraw files in my C:\ directory, and I can delete models as I please, but I cannot delete or move the files in the "Bitmap" folder. Whenever I try, it gives me a (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: tubing
 
(...) If I ever had to model string I probably would use a scaled cylinder... I would like to see your part become official! It's very useful. (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: tubing
 
(...) I don't think that users would normally want to scale parts. The part you were presented with just now is probably the exception: No other parts in the LDraw library should be scaled to other sizes than the ones they come in. But then again, (...)

  Re: tubing
 
(...) Cool. That worked. I had to edit the MPD by hand, though, I could not just edit the matrix values in MLCad directly. I think I found an MLCad quirk though. With non unit scaling/rotation factors I found that I could not move the part in the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Problem, folks
 
(...) Or even the nasty "last line Empty" syndrome, that Ldraw can't live without. Just add an empty line to the end of the file and then save, to solve this problem. See ya Rui Martins (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problem, folks
 
(...) What do you mean by "LDraw won't load the file"? Does LDraw crash? Does it only render the model partially? In the latter case, the problem may be the use of MPD or other extensions which are not supported by LDraw. Or the problem may be line (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problem, folks
 
(...) If it gives a runtime error xxx then the problem is mist likely that there are lines in there that arent strictly valid in dat files (like the news headers and etc) but which ldlite (and mlcad I guess) ignore but which ldraw picks up on. (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Problem, folks
 
When I try copying and pasting Web-DAT files from these pages to a text file, LDraw won't load the file. I have the correct extensions and everything. MLCad loads the file fine, but LDraw won't? Any solutions? Thanks! Mike (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: idea for a new page: faces of ldraw/lego
 
(...) minifig (...) You could paste the images of faces onto minifig heads as bitmaps, and then render the image. Or, have little minifigs with users' faces running around Datville (kinda like The Sims). : ) Just another idea. Mike (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)
 
  file name protocol
 
I've finished a couple of models. Looking back I realize that I used names for sub models that may not mean much to anyone else. Is there a protocal for filenames, sub models, etc.? Or should I just post the models and not worry about? Thanks -- (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models.sets)
