  Re: MPDCenter Question to the users
 
(...) Hi, I worked with you're program a while back with the infamous Imperial Star Destroyer mpd. My 2 cents: - Make it possible to write all subfiles without a save dialog for every part (I wound up pressing save 98 times) - A cancel in any of the (...) (17 years ago, 4-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  MPDCenter Question to the users
 
I have looked at LDraw.org and found, that over 500 people has downloaded by that link. So it should be also some more. At present I want to know 1) Are you satisfied with this program? 2) Or do you want it faster? I have some good ideas for that (...) (17 years ago, 4-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)

  DATHeader New Release
 
The problem is fixed. Now it should be possible to process files with approx. size by 1.5 GByte. Sorry for the trouble that maybe caused this bug to you. cu mikeheide (17 years ago, 4-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I seem to recall it was written in VB? If so, the VB text box has a content size limit of 65K. The only way around this is to work on an in memory string buffer and not store (and read back) the result in the text box. (17 years ago, 2-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)
 
  DATHeader ALERT!
 
Please do not use DATHeader on files that exceed 64k because they will be cut at 64k. I will investigate that problem later. I fixed the problem that I had by mirrored subfiles. cu mikeheide (17 years ago, 2-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LPUB question

  Re: LDD color
