(...) Hi Orion, Here is my take on the current state of LDraw related tools and parts library. There are a few documents that sketch out the basic mechanics of what we use today, but the real standards are the programs that we have that use them. We (...)

Hello I'm looking for following part as described on (URL) : 2541 Brown Bar 5 x 28 Tapered I can't find it between the updates (both official and unofficial )at ldraw.org. Looking this number up at lugnet.com led me to some minifig parts? The part (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | LPub and disproportionate Parts List Images?
|
|
I just rendered a set of instructions in LPub at screen resolution, 800x600. LPub rendered the parts list images at what seems to be print resolution. Previously when I generated instructions for the same model, LPub rendered them proportionate to (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Cool. Kevin started the call for meta-commands, and I believe he plans to assemble them into a list/document. If you want to help with that, I suggest you email him. -Tim (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I agree the backward compatibility is good, to a point. This is especially true for the parts library. Too many times we refuse to fix something or extend the file spec (e.g. new colors not able to be represented by existing color numbers) (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Why not keep previous meta-commands where they're at, but also introduce a new line-type exclusively for meta-commands? I'm not too keen on MLCad's WRITE, to me it makes little to no sense. Maybe if it was COMMENT or even ! (like an HTML (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Why not force comments to be a meta-command like MLcad does with WRITE? Then the only problem you have is new files created with Ledit, and old files which will need to be converted. And Ldraw would still handle them OK. ROSCO (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
