This may well be something very simple, but I'm not finding it. I'm trying out LPub for the first time. I had LDraw and MLCAD and had created a number of .ldr files which I wanted to run through LPub. Today I downloaded and installed POV-RAY, (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I just downloaded MLCad after a long hiatus and I love the new version. I'm particularly having fun with the Minifig Generator. Given the amount of time I spent with the old system, matching decimals, I prefer this method just as much. With a little (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

|
|
Hello all, I am thinking that part 4626.dat may have the stud-to-stud spacing too close together. Nice piece. Thanks. later, James Mathis (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Yeah, I noticed the tcl/tk version of the LSynth GUI didn't get too many comments. (URL) you had any thoughts on how to make the LPub GUI portable? It's a bit heftier than the LSynth GUI, but it's probably doable in tcl/tk. Don (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
