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)

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)

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)

Hmmm, draw the edge twice and flip the stencil bit eh? It sounds like it could work. I'll have to read up on edge flags. I haven't used them for anything yet. By the way, you should be able to get all the info you need from the type 5 line itself, (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
