  Re: txt2dat - Create LDraw files from text
 
(...) That's not too hard to find. (URL) like a wrapper for autotrace and some other stuff. (...) Yeah, you got me there. I think I've got a couple a numbers from the harry potter house sets, and that's about it. Yer more likely to get the whole (...) (19 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: txt2dat - Create LDraw files from text
 
(...) All we need to generate the cheesy LEGO font file is an output-truetype module for autotrace, and a ready supply of lettered tiles ;) ROSCO (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: txt2dat - Create LDraw files from text
 
(...) Err... yeah, lsynth. That's why I couldn't find it. So now that I found it it looks a bit more than 10 lines. Oops. Anyhow, substitute txt2dat for lsynth, make a few little additions and ya get a cheesy GUI for txt2dat that sorta works. Enjoy, (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Reloading MPD into Minifig generator
 
(...) Thanks! I'll look into the Blender thing and also grouping parts in MLCAD. I meet with this class every Thursday, so I have a week! (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: txt2dat - Create LDraw files from text
 
(...) Yeah, I was gonna suggest you convert the "font" from the ldraw lettered tiles into a cheesy builtin internal font, which would be used by default. Then add a -f before the font if you can find a better one somewhere. That way you could make (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Reloading MPD into Minifig generator
 
(...) (snip) for the arms and hands try the following (after creating the minifig): 1. group the arms with their hands. 2. next rotate this group (along the x-axis) head and accessories (hair,hats etc.) need to be grouped as well. rotating the legs (...)

  Re: txt2dat - Create LDraw files from text
 
(...) Nuthin like a good ol' command line utility ;) though I wouldn't be adverse to someone creating a nice graphical interface - working out which font file to use is a bit of a pain sometimes... ROSCO (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: txt2dat - Create LDraw files from text
 
(...) Version 0.1.4 now available at the same page. Changes in v0.1.4 are: Use “LDraw inverse colour” for lines. Fixed non-ansi definition of add_char() and add_string(). Implemented better algorithm for choosing the number of segments in splines. (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: Reloading MPD into Minifig generator
 
I would suggest using Blender and import the mpd into if (LDraw Importer) and then alk him through that. It's really much less difficult then it seems. (...) (19 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Reloading MPD into Minifig generator
 
Hi Folks, I've got a 10 year old student who wants to create an animated minifig. He wants to create an animated gif by posing the minifig into a walking motion. Moving the arms and legs are easier while in the minifig generator. Unfortuantely, as (...) (19 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Any examples?
 
(...) The base patternless version would be 65432 and the pattern would be 65423pXX where XX is a number-letter code for the pattern. Even if the part has never existed without a pattern, a non-patterned version is always created and given the base (...) (19 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Any examples?
 
Hi all: Suppose there were a part such as a 3x9 brick with "Dave is Supercool" printed on the side, and let's call it part 65432. If that part did not exist in non-printed form, how would this be entered into the LDraw inventory? That is, would the (...) (19 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Conditional lines on sloped wedge parts 43720 and 43721  [DAT]
 
(...) Good idea with a twist primitive (twist.dat ?). Perhaps it would be simpler if it were only in one octant: 2 24 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 24 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 24 1 1 1 0 1 0 2 24 0 1 0 0 0 0 POV code would be: //x - yz = 0 quadric { <0,0,0>, <0,0,-1>, (...)

  Minor enhancement to PT UI
 
I made a small change to the user interface for the Parts Tracker. Previously, the "Lookup" box (at the right end of the navbar) would only accept filenames for searching. If you didn't enter the name of a file currently in the unofficial library, (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
