  Possible bug
 
I have downloaded the latest version, changed the settings, altered the colour palette, moved the toolbars, and created customised part groups to suit the way I work. Whenever I start MLcad by selecting the program itself, all the settings etc load (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Is it appropriate to post large models here?
 
(...) Hmm. (a) I wasn't very clear and (b) I didn't think about compressing DAT size by combining adjacent pixels with the same color. Anyway, I was thinking that with more colors, the source BMP could be smaller (in pixel x pixel dimensions) and (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

Hello, (...) direct-color (...) Hm... from my point of view that doesn't make a real difference. (As you probably know ;) I wrote BMP-2-LDraw32). In some cases you wil get even a bigger file than before because the number from 1-511 (about 300 (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

The current version supports polling with the -p command line switch, although I haven't tried it lately so perhaps I broke it... Would it be useful to add a (...)

  Re: Export command question
 
(...) Jay, you didn't ask any questions that really required an answer. And even if Micheal had posted a response, it wouldn't have changed your situation at all.

  Re: Is it appropriate to post large models here?
 
(...) Yikes! That is big. From what Todd said before, a one-time posting of a large DAT would be alright. From his POV. That makes me think: is there a BMP2DAT program that uses the direct-color syntax of LDLite & MLCad? Having RGB colors available (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Export command question
