Hi all...I just found out about MLCAD/Ldraw/Lpub last week, and I've been trying to figure out all the programs. I was able to create an .mpd of an archway with a clocktower above it. It seems to work fine in MLCAD, but when I try to build (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) If you know the LDraw part number, you can do a text search for the part but that doesn't necessarily help you in the context of finding it in your model. I have used that to change colors of certain parts and things like that. (...) I think (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi Michael, I'm working on a 'large' building with over 4000 pieces. Now i would like to find a single piece in my drawing, and looked for a 'Find' function. There seems to be no 'Find' function available in MLCAD V3.11. Is there a possibility to (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Have you tried doing a mainform->restore() (or whatever the Delphi version is) before closing the child? It is likely the user won't mind the window re-appearing when some long processing is finished. If you're worried about that, you could (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You could try setting another parent for the CancelForm, maybe zero for the DeskTop? Maybe there is some problem when you try to close a child of a minimized form? (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Well, once again I've hit my limit.... I use a custom form for LPub's main form. I also use a simple custom form for the Cancel window that contains two buttons. When LPub is processing something that takes a long time, it does CanceForm->Show(). (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Well, I tried this in LDView, and it seems to work fine. I haven't yet put the new stuff in a display list, so it's drawing all the type 5 line geometry in immediate mode. Consequently, I'm not yet sure how fast it will be (it's very similar (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) I think, that in this particular application it is better to deal with line type 5 syntax. Otherwise renderer has to calculate angle between adjanced polygons and select some threshold to decide whether this line is "conditional" or not. (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
