  Re: ldconfig.ldr and dithered colors
 
(...) They should be fall back on the 'default spec' -- that is, dither them; don't rely on their counterpart's definition. But that doesn't really (...) Hmm.

  Re: Visio and Picture formats (was New Parts Drawings - Plates, Slope, Track Pieces)
 
(...) Both GIF and PNG are lossless. GIF files don't have better compression; the reason that the gif file is so much smaller is because gif uses only 8 bits per pixel, while png can use 24, 32, or even 48 or 64 bits per pixel. No image formats (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

  Re: ldconfig.ldr and dithered colors

  Inserting "O STEP" command
 
I recently began getting into LDRAW, MLCad, LPub, etc. I have downloaded numerous .dat, .ldr and .mpd files to learn how to make instructions. Apparently, the "0 STEP" command is very important for seeing the model assembly in LDLite as well as (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad)

  Visio and Picture formats (was New Parts Drawings - Plates, Slope, Track Pieces)
 
(...) I only use bitmaps when they are smaller than the equivalent jpeg - ie they are monochrome ones. This was the case for the parts I've drawn so far.
