(...) I'd love to have an option that shows all conditional lines like the one in ldview, would greatly ease (my) hunts for excess conditional lines! (16 years ago, 21-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) Actually you can search for parts, just hit Ctrl-F to pop up the search dialog. Note that if the search string has spaces, it must be encased in "quotes", otherwise MLCad will complain. To get the next match, hit Ctrl-Shift-F (the context menu (...) (16 years ago, 20-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) At this point, I think the answer to this is unknown. Hopefully, yes there will be a next version, and there has been at least some effort put into it. However, at this point, I'd say that there are no guarantees. I have more info, but it's (...) (16 years ago, 19-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) I've a few more but also a question: is there actually going to be a next version? It's been over three years since the current version was released... Fix the scrollbar bug. In large models it takes a number of times moving the scrollbar to (...) (16 years ago, 19-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) There is no way to get your shape using primitives, it would require non-linear transformations. So, as mentionned by Michael, the best way is to use Coverer. You can nonetheless get a similar (but quite different) shape using shearing as (...) (16 years ago, 15-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Is this what you had in mind? (...) Basicly changing any of the non zero coordinates will scale along the coresponding axis. You can also accomplish shearing by replacing any of the zero's with a different number. (16 years ago, 14-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) AFAIK there is no solution with primitives in this case. I would suggest use one of the tools from Philo ((URL) to fill the space between those 4-4edge.dat cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 15-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

|

Well, it's my second thread today, but how would you go to "stretch" a cylinder, like a cone, but only in Y-axis, not X-axis? I've again attached a dat file to show what I mean. Basically I'd need a cylinder that'd fit those two 4-4edge.dat:s, any (...) (16 years ago, 14-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

Hello, I've been in need of a primitive something similar to a sloped cylinder, but something little different, so I made such primitive. I can't describe the primitive, though. You'll have to see it yourself. :-) What I'm concerned now is the (...) (16 years ago, 14-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| | New Tool GapFinder
|

I just have finished a new tool called GapFinder. ((URL) is designed to find gaps between triangle and/or quad. The results might be useful to correct a file. But please use the results with care, as human eyes are not exact like this tool ;-). Also (...) (16 years ago, 14-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.announce)
