(...) OK, that's very very strange. LDView's main menu "just worked" (mostly). I had to do some fixups to make it fit the Mac style, but it was perfectly usable without those. It "just works" when compiled with QT 4 also. (...) Menu" on a Mac isn't (...) (19 years ago, 27-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) <snip> LPub does not need a total list of parts, so it doesn't have to scan all the paths. It does need the titles of parts that are used however.

Hi all, Just thought I'd check to see if anyone was working on part 32475 ((URL) It's a horrid part to work on so I'm hoping someone has but realise it's probably unlikely. Thanks, Tim (19 years ago, 27-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Mathematics to use 1-8tdisk is easy, divide the width by 0.707 and height by 0.293 (1-(sqrt(2)/2) to get size of the tdisk. Move the center accordingly. Yes I have used that trick several times, using regular disc/ndis primitives, inlining (...) (19 years ago, 27-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad)
