  Re: Bug in MLCad Release V1.99
 
(...) I had quite a few Fatal errors with the new release (almost made download the previous version..back again). It was (probably) caused when I selected multiple parts with a mouse drag and immediately wanted to move the selected parts. I know it (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Bug in MLCad Release V1.99
 
It seems there is a crash-bug in the new release. I got already two error reports, but I cannot reproduce it with Windows NT. Can someone tell me if she/he has problems with the new release? MLCad should crash with a GPF. If you have this problems (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Patterned Parts Numbering
 
(...) Yes. As long as you specify the extension, LDraw doesn't care what it is. LEdit might be a different story, I don't know. (...) Don't use MAKELIST, it can't handle more than 1000 parts. Use MKLIST instead. And MKLIST indexes every file in the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Does anyone have Paradisa style windows?
 
Hi, I'm new to LDRAW building. I noticed that there are no official Paradisa window parts. These include the 1x4x5 clear windows that curve at the top. These can be found in the Sand Dollar Cafe set. Alos, there are "corner" versions of these (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I have put the entire curve online at (URL) 200 Kb I think it's pretty nice except for the strange twists in it. Koen (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  DATSort, a utility for sorting .DAT files
 
Hey gang, For a while now I've wanted a way to sort the entries in a .DAT file according to X-Y-Z coordinates, that way after I build a file in MLCad I can sort the elements so they're in an order much like original LEGO instructions (bottom to top, (...)

I have an update for you Michael. I am now using 1.99 If I have three parts in my Parts List...

(...) Sidestepping various landmines, two ideas that come to mind for addressing this issue: 1. Allow letters in pattern id's, to increase the number of 2-digit from 100 to 1296.

  Re: rotation matrices
 
(...) I briefly scanned the page you mentioned, it looks like it should be OK for LDraw.

I'm pretty sure that should be: A D G 0 B E H 0 C F I 0 X Y Z 1 So multiplying (used fixed-pitch font for proper viewing): (x y z 1) (A D G 0) (B E H 0) (C F I 0) (X Y Z 1) gives (Ax + By + Cx + X Dx + Ey + Cz + Y Gx + Hy + Iz + Z 1) (...)

  Re: Patterned Parts Numbering  [DAT]
 
(...) While not directly related, I've found that, while using subparts from the parts\s directory, the names will be truncated if they're more than 8 characters long and therefore won't render in LEdit or LDraw.
