Hallo! I'm new to the LEGO CAD world, but so far I'm really amazed about the great possibilities this programs offer. Well, I try to ldraw the official LEGO Set 8837, one of my favorites before the dark age. Now I'm getting into some trouble. (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

|
|
I like acronyms...anyways... I'm working on BrickSpace, and now BrickFire. Also trying to learn C so I can write my own FPS and RTS, but that's a bit longer term. Right now, I'm wondering if among our fine ranks there are any of you who are modders, (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.gaming, FTX)

(...) The problem exists that Bricklink doesn't use the same numbering system that Peeron does for parts where the number is unknown. Bricklink and Peeron also differ, in some cases, on part naming. This leads to the neccesity of constructing a huge (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) From a technical standpoint, I think this wouldn't be too hard to do. You'd query each vendor with the list of parts, and taking into account the vendor's minimum lot size for each part, get back a mock order that covers as much of that parts (...)

(...) Now I know! There is a bug in set-ldrawdir.command. Set-ldrawdir.command should not be using a "~". I just confirmed this by chaning mine to a "~", and ldglite could not find my ldraw directory. So, you did everything right, we didn't. Sorry. (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
