| | New LDView screen saver mode
|
|
I don't include instructions in the release, but LDView 1.9.2 can now be used as a screen saver. This is still in the verification stage, and as such may lock/crash/reboot your computer, etc. (Note that it does none of these things on my computer.) (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Related question (for the parts officials, I suppose): Are there any plans (even tentative) to move towards adding this sort of stuff to official parts? Or is the current (...)

| | Inline POV-Ray code?

I seem to recall that some curved parts have separate definitions in the parts file itself for POV-Ray to render them better. But I can't find any. Is this actually possible? Do such parts exist?
