  Re: Why is the Thickness of Liftarms changing?
 
(...) What are you using to measure with? I use a dial caliper. Paul (21 years ago, 1-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: why I love subfiles...
 
(...) I'm going to have to agree with Tore on this one. Subfile are useful for repeated patterns and "without faces" parts, to me, your example seems to use subfiles uneccesarily. -Orion (21 years ago, 1-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas)
 
  Re: Why is the Thickness of Liftarms changing?
 
(...) I've measured these and several others have as well and we all got 18 LDU -Orion (21 years ago, 1-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Modelling Pnuematics
 
(...) Great! I'll go and get it. (...) I've had a lot of success since my earlier post, I cut down the long tube part with bulged ends in LDDP and just used multiples of that. Thanks Steven (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Newbie question on printing b/w and colour hints
 
(...) Boy, that would be *very* hard to have happen automatically. Automatic placement of the color labels would be problematic at best. It is *much* easier to put the color labels in the part list image. The label is some location relative to the (...) (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst, FTX)
 
  Re: Modelling Pnuematics
 
(...) I've encountered this bug, as well. It seems to happen mainly on parts that have been scaled. The workaround is to select multiple objects to move, making sure that at least one part isn't scaled. For this reason, I often keep an extra (...) (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Newbie question on printing b/w and colour hints
 
(...) LPub's approach is a great one (and one that I use as well in the parts lists that I include in my instructions) but it doesn't do what Ahui is asking, precisely, that is, it doesn't provide "callouts with a letter for the color". I'm not (...) (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst, FTX)

  Re: Newbie question on printing b/w and colour hints

  Re: Need partnumbers and some partnames
 
(...) There are trainbases with and without motorcutouts, some with the same size. That's why I suggested to add the cutout to the name. Also for seeking those parts as one of them is just a plate. Perhaps adding Motorcutout as a keyword can help to (...) (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: Newbie question on printing b/w and colour hints
 
(...) Well I printed my first custom kit instructions on a HP deskjet 6122 colour inkjet, and was totally happy with the results. My customers also gave positive feedback on the quality. There are some very reasonably priced good quality colour (...) (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Newbie question on printing b/w and colour hints
 
(...) I print in B&W and also in color, but charge extra for color. I tend to make my models in only a few colors (no more than 3-4 main colors at most) so the various grays are distinguishable, especially since I use subassemblies, and I describe (...)

  Re: LDraw.org 2003-03 Parts Update Now Available
 
(...) Another thing to look at is that XP explorer will attempt to open compressed files, like zip, when you click on them. Maybe it recognises it as a self-extracting EXE and tries to open it to display the contents? ROSCO (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Why is the Thickness of Liftarms changing?
 
(...) Yes that seems strange, as far as I can tell all these liftarms are the same width as a 1xN brick, so should be modelled as 20LDU as the bricks are. ROSCO (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Why is the Thickness of Liftarms changing?
 
This part is on the Part Tracker; (URL) 32278 I have has a thickness of .0309" which is approximately 19.77LDU. Why are several of these liftarms getting changed to 18LDU? Paul (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
