  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) There is also Jim Devona's ldmerge ((URL) that can be helpful if you don't want to mix everything. Philo (17 years ago, 22-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) No, LDraw is not on its death bed. Things are going on in the background - although with less vigour than I would wish since Christmas, due to an overload of other commitments. Most of the conversion work on the existing official library is (...) (17 years ago, 22-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Getting OT: Where are the latest official parts files?
 
(...) Look at the following post: (URL) you read that thread as a whole, you'll have a better understanding of the problem. However, the above post has a link to a page with a zip of all the unofficial parts (i.e., everything that's been added or (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) I think it's definitely something that needs to be considered by each person, since for some people it will work fine, while for others it won't work well at all. LDView uses the directories listed in the tutorial (<LDraw>\Unofficial\P and (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) Better idea? Well, maybe. I'm not sure yet. There's much more to L-Cad than ML-Cad. The question that immediately come to my mind is: What programs will support that scan order info, besides ML-Cad? L3P? L3Lab? LDView? /Tore (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Getting OT: Where are the latest official parts files?
 
(...) Ok. I found an update with all new parts since release 0.27 - but it is "complete.exe", does not help on my mac. Is there a plain zip available? (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Exhaust Pipes 71137 and x855 misaligned
 
(...) No, I did not. It is not on the unofficial parts list and the latest full release of LDRAW on ldraw.org still states 2004. Latest official parts update states 2005. Is it stupid me or is it hidden somewhere? I downloaded somewhere mid-2007 and (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) Bad idea! A much more elegant way to include unofficial parts, without the need ot mix them with the official library can be found here: (URL) w. (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) As pointed out here: (URL) merge the original LDraw core library with the Complete.exe updates. Once the CA-library is published, there will be just one package containing all parts and no Ldraw.exe, LEdit.exe. Plus the library will be (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) No, the six parts are not the reason for the delay but the inconsistency of the part's header with the need to check/convert every single part, plus all the extra work that has to be done for the new package - read: all-in-one-installer, (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) To answer both of your questions, take a look at LDraw.org's (URL) Unofficial Parts> page. Although the 'instructions' are kinda brief. Sorry about that. Basically, you do this: Download the zip file (the link at the bottom of the unofficial (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) Are there instructions anywhere on how to download and install or update unofficial parts? Is there a repository where all the unofficial parts live? Thanks, Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Exhaust Pipes 71137 and x855 misaligned
 
(...) This problem should be fixed with the update I made in November 2007! Do you have noticed that? cu mikeheide (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) That's what I do, too. And update from time to time. (...) I heartfully agree: we are desperately missing reviewers! While it does require some LDraw knowledge, it is nothing compared to authoring of complex parts... it took me years to get up (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Exhaust Pipes 71137 and x855 misaligned
 
Hi, Again, while doing these parts for LGEO, I discovered the exhaust pipes old 71137 and new (with Pin) x855 (unoffical by GuyVivan) to be misaligned. They have a different origin point, which is not the problem. If you place them in a the holes of (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
(...) I'm *sure* that LDraw is not on death row. I have faith that things will get resolved. I'm sure part of the problem is that we have real lives, and sometimes that gets in the way of LEGO. Are you sure you cannot get along with an unofficial (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LPub Wiki
 
Hi folks, I wanted to let folks now that I am working hard at LPub 4.0, a WYSIWYG building instruction editor. Philo was kind enough to set up a wiki for people to report bugs, add feature requests, and watch the testing process proceed. (URL) I've (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)  
 
  It’s the year 2008, where are my parts updates?
 
It has been over two years since the last LDraw parts update. Where the heck are the new ones? Are we just letting LDraw die? It is really seeming that way. Yes, I’ve read the ‘Lack of Parts Updates’ article. I read it over a year ago. And as far as (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)  
 
  MPD file for Technic #8842
 
In this post (URL) you can find the mpd file describing the #8842 Technic set of the 80’s. I decide to remake the model after I read the post in The NXT Step: (URL) which explains some methods to unstuck parts. In a commentary the #8842 is mentioned (...)
