 | | Best practice for using unofficial parts?
|
|
At BrickFair I made an MPD file of a covered cylindrical hopper car by Margaret Keys, but it used two unofficial parts. To make the file, I downloaded the parts (and the needed subassembly files) into my parts library, but if I share it with others (...) (16 years ago, 1-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Hi Kevin. I've just created instructions for several of my models, and LPub has added a set of pages for the same sub part for each time it is used (in the same set) Can it detect this and only add them once with a "x2" on it? I have told it to (...) (16 years ago, 31-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad)
