  Screensaver anyone?
 
Has anyone made a rendering engine that could be set up as a screensaver for Windoze? It would be SO COOL if my FLL team could have their robot rotating around the laptop screen at tournaments... Thanks! -Peter Coach, FLL Team #1096: The Unibots (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Creating folders in ML CAD
 
(...) group, (...) Ohhhh YESSS! That would allow me to create an FLL group, with subgroups for beams, bricks, sensors, gears, etc. to duplicate the inventory boxes I made for the kids. Then MLCAD would be something my team could use, rather than me (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  License - again
 
Last time we talked about a license for the parts library we couldn't reach an agreement, so here I am again trying to wrap this up. I know this is a boring subject but let's try to reach an agreement. I don't think we need to write a long license, (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Report Generator | Pieces
 
I noticed when running a piece report that it doesn't allow for pieces in sub parts. It might be nice to have an added column that shows the pieces in each sub part, then total the number of pieces in the overall model. In other words, if you have (...)

  Re: Creating folders in ML CAD
 
(...) Two thoughts on groupings: 1. For the default groupings, read the parts list and create groups for all first-words (or use the 0 CATEGORY entries from the part-files). This creates some odd non-groups, but it's better (IMO) than going through (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: numbers for "Castle" minifig torso patterns?...
 
(...) I'm still not sure about using 'S' for this, because S01 is commonly used for parts/s/ files. But I definitely agree with the idea. (...) Erk. Doesn't LEdit cut off file-references that a too long? (...) Authors have got to be careful to (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDLite status (was Re: LDLite center offset problem?)
 
(...) I use LDLite (mostly) in conjuction with LDAO (to generate the VEC images, and the HTML instruction images) and to generate the images for Partsref. Some things I'd like to see: 1. LDLite 2.0 doesn't crop saved images to the edges of the (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: LDLite status (was Re: LDLite center offset problem?)
 
(...) As I have pointed out before, this is my most wanted feature upgrade of LDLITE nowadays. It looks a bit odd to see rendered images where the type 2 lines are 3 pixels wide, while the type 5 lines are plain one pixel wide. The other things you (...)

  Need Help! Work project.
 
I've been given a task at work to come up with a team work learning assignment. I figured legos would be the way to go. 12 unit members each doing their part to put a whole model together. Each working on it one day. I want to make a Santa, but each (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)
