  Re: Idea for a new feature in a Lego CAD program.
 
(...) BlockCAD (see sig.) has snapping. In fact it's impossible to put parts inside each other there. OTOH, BlockCAD has many other limitations (studs up only, 90 degrees turning only, limited part library) so it's usability depends on what you are (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Strange part/file conversion problem
 
I've been working on model 8872, the forklift transport and I've again found some parts that do not convert the right way from Ldraw to LGEO: part: 6536.dat / Technic Axle Joiner Perpendicular is rotated 90 degrees part: 2905.dat / Technic Triangle (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Idea for a new feature in a Lego CAD program.
 
(...) Wonderful. Glad to see someone already thought about this and is implementing it into a working program. Thanks for the information, Travis. :) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: New colours in Ldraw?
 
(...) Good Idea. That's also my opinion. There should be a break with the backward compatibility. That would solve many Problems with the old DOS-Program. And it would be easier to generate new standards. CU Bernd (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: I want to become a reviewer
 
(...) While I don't stick religiously to any formula, I do usually try to group "logical" sections together, sometimes even with comments! But I think generally I've found it easier to do the polygons first. ROSCO (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Idea for a new feature in a Lego CAD program.
 
This has been talked about in the past. There's even a lugnet group devoted entirely to one of the proposals: (URL). I believe that the author of the Glide app is the only person to announce an intention of producing an LCD-based implementation. I (...) (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Idea for a new feature in a Lego CAD program.
 
I was thinking about how difficult it is to build things in MLCad. It's not technically difficult to build them, but it is difficult to position things properly. Even when you think you have a piece positioned properly, it ends up coming out wrong (...) (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

  help with ldraw
 
Hey y'all- I was just working on my LDraw when I experienced a problem. On the four small dimension windows, the up-down, left-right scrolls have vanished. Is there a way I can retrieve them? (I don't know what I did). (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Working on 6032.dat Brick 2 x 3 x 1 & 2/3 Octagonal offset
 
(...) This is in my "delvolopment" queue for LDraw.org features. Unless Steve adds this to the PT, I think I can whip up a website module. -Orion (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
 
  Re: Working on 6032.dat Brick 2 x 3 x 1 & 2/3 Octagonal offset
 
(...) Yes, that's true. I do drop a mail to this list when I'd like to announce a part (in those rare cases when I have time to do some part authoring). The problem is that you get only feedback if the other part author working on the same part (...) (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: Working on 6032.dat Brick 2 x 3 x 1 & 2/3 Octagonal offset
 
(...) I join to Niel's opinion, it would be useful to have a so called "Working on" list to announce if an author is working on a certain part, to avoid duplicate efforts.

  Re: New colours in Ldraw?
