(...) Not just a mouse, but Edit / Rotate / Keyboard Entry allows you to enter a full rotation matrix (among other things). Of course you need to know what matrix values to enter to get your desired result, but it's there in the GUI. (...) Yes, that (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Ah ha! That explains why I said to set the background color to black. That way the exterior lines alpha blend with zeros. I suspect setting -b0 in the ldglite options window of lpub will give better results. Maybe lpub should always do this if (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That won't help. The problem is that OpenGL antialiasing antialises the color channel based on the background color the original rendering happens over. So even if you bump the alpha on all those pixels up to 1.0 (fully opaque), you'll still (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Antialiasing it turned on in ldglite by -q. I'm not sure if this is done automatically by lpub or if it's in the optional settings box. Background color is set by -b and I think it supports ldlite and l3p colors style extended colors. (...) I (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I don't think LDGLite supports anything other than stipple transparency. If you use LDView as your renderer, you can get sorted blended trancparency. You'll want to use the latest LDView test release for it to work properly, though. That's (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)

Hi, What I see when I use small parts in transparent colors does not make me happy. See what I mean in the same image of my previous post: (URL) at the "plate 1 x 1 round" colored red transparent in the PLI and the step. Any way to get this better? (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
