I'm working my way through the LEGO Software Power Tools book (I'm new to MLCAD) and I notice the minifig arms illustrated in the book are different than the ones I have available. The ones in the book are tapered nicely, while mine aren't, and they (...) (21 years ago, 26-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

|

It's been a rainy day here, so did a lot of LDrawing ;-) Today I found out how to use cyls and cyls2 primitives :-) I created, updated and finished a few parts. Making my parts BFC compliant I noticed that several primitives of the same class have (...) (21 years ago, 26-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad)

No, I'm not getting married. ;-) All of this LDraw standards and organization talk has gotten me thinking...about LDraw.org and it's mission, if you will.
