  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?

  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?
 
(...) 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?
