  Re: reading .dwg files
 
(...) Hey Larry, Never tried, but ThumbsPlus (www.thumbs.com) has .dwg (AutoCAD) file types in the 'File Types' option. I have a registered copy of Thumbs and have thrown many different types of image types at it and it appears to handle 'em all. (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)

  reading .dwg files
 
Does anyone out there have a way to read a .dwg file and create a high resolution image from it? I have some floorplans of the OCC that I can't read but need to access. Please drop me a line if you can convert these or can give a pointer to an easy (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Overlapping lines (type 2)
 
(...) Another example is the motor cutout of several old train baseplates. These have 12 sides and 36 edges, but can also be created with 3 box3u2p primitives and having overlapping 4 edges. Or should I create another box3 primitive with two more (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Overlapping lines (type 2)
 
(...) This isn't 'forbidden' or anything. But, because of the way renderers calculate lines & edges, this type of arrangement might lead to 'edge noise' -- occasional doubling of sections of the line. For the few number of lines involved, I'd look (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)

  LEGO Rubik Cube: significant size reduction
 
When I announced my first (very large) Rubik Cube, I was very disappointed to hear that somebody else already made a Rubik Cube (only a couple of months before I did). Even more, Martin Howard's Cube was smaller than mine. I had to try again and do (...)

  Re: MOTM / SOTM Voting For December Is Now Open
 
Hi Orion, Thanks for bringing this back!! If I may offer a suggestion, I think it's ... cruel ;?) to not let users look at the images again once they've voted. Maybe it's worth creating voting and non-voting galleries or offer some other solution. (...) (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer LDraw File
 
(...) I'm not sure what you're reffering to. If you mean the mottled effect on the sides, I think this is a side effect of using POV-Ray's Radiosity and a low max-trace-level for such a large model. It was purely unintentional. -Orion (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models.sets)

  Re: Overlapping lines (type 2)
 
(...) While this might be bad coding form, there is nothing technically wrong with this. I would look into using the rect3, rect2p, rect2o, and rect1 primitives where possible. -Orion (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Overlapping lines (type 2)
 
A question for the more experienced part authors: Is it permitted to have lines (linetype 2) overlap, caused by adjecent primitives (e.g. two rect or rect and box primitives)? Niels (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
