  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) Since some popular LDraw programs are available for the Mac these days - LDView, LPub, L3Lab, and of course Bricksmith - I think it's only reasonable to provide parts updates in a format readily accessible to Mac users. Happily, the (URL) (...) (16 years ago, 31-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) When satisfying both is trivial (like here) then you should satisfy both. Personally I would have preferred to dump the executable zip and just leave it as a regular zip. Tim (16 years ago, 31-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) Not really a helpful message! If you have a question - then ask that question. There are approx. 95% and more Windows users for LDraw and the remaining 5% or less are Linux and Apple users. So which direction you would go to satisfy the (...) (16 years ago, 30-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Chardonnay? Zinfandel? Reisling? What wine do you drink while testing? Paul (16 years ago, 30-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)  
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) Yeah, I've done that in the past, but I didn't have any luck in this case. Stuffit Expander, the built-in OS X archive utility, and another zip program failed to unzip it successfully. The unzip utility reports the following: (...) (16 years ago, 30-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) Note that most programs that can extract ZIP files should be able to extract the contents of the EXE file - self-extracting ZIPs are valid ZIP files themselves. ROSCO (16 years ago, 30-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC Updates
 
(...) Yes! I was already planning on writing a tutorial. It may not be ready until after the new year, though. -Mike (16 years ago, 28-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
 
  Re: MOC Updates
 
(...) Hey thats great. I would have an instruction how to do such a tour. Can you make that and made it public? cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 28-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
 
  Re: MOC Updates
 
(...) All right! The panoramic tour is online: (URL) (16 years ago, 28-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) Chris has now changed the zip to include ldraw as part of the paths inside, instead of being rooted inside the ldraw directory, so it now works again with LDView's automatic library install. --Travis (16 years ago, 26-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) Thanks Travis, This is good news. Kevin (16 years ago, 26-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) This appears to be the 2008-01 release: (URL) is the file that's linked to from the updates CGI that LDView uses for automatic updates. See here: (URL) that the CGI hasn't been updated to reflect the fact that this is 2008-01 instead of (...) (16 years ago, 26-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)  
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) Actually with the new license anyone can repackage it as a regular zip. I suspect most zip programs could open the executable zip anyway. But I agree that ldraw.org should make it available in a universal format. I'd guess it just slipped (...) (16 years ago, 26-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) That's goofy. The content of the library update is a group of LDraw files, not a program. Zip is a common and perfectly reasonable format for distributing such files; it is natively supported on most operating systems I'm aware of. Packing (...) (16 years ago, 25-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
(...) Why do you need that? Under Linux I have tested this executable and it works perfect (with wine). cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 25-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Still no zip file for 2008-01?
 
LDraw Library Update 2008-01 is still posted only as a Windows executable. Why is there not yet an universally-accessible zip file of its contents? Allen (16 years ago, 23-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)  
 
  Re: POV Coordinate Question
 
(...) Sorry about the delay here. It turns out that the problem was simply that I'm an idiot. I guess I should have just started with that assumption. At any rate, the copy-paste from LDView works just fine. I was apparently deleting the "right" (...) (16 years ago, 24-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Hopper car model
 
A few months back I designed a (URL) train car: (URL) And recently I built LDraw instructions for it and published them online. What's the best way to share them? I put the CAD file (URL) on my blog> and on Flickr (as a comment under the (URL) 3D (...) (16 years ago, 23-Dec-08, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: L(EGO)Draw parts - 2nd batch
 
(...) I woudln't bother pushing this. LEGO is being very nice to the fan community by providing us parts in LDRAW DAT format. I'd leave it at that. Jeff (16 years ago, 23-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
