 | | LPub "Print to File" question
|
|
LPub is a nice little program but I'm not sure where to go for help. I've built a rather large set of instructions and want to render it as 20 inches by 13 inches but when I choose "Print to File" it "renders" each page blank and Adobe reader says (...) (15 years ago, 28-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) In response to my conversation with Tom Beattie concerning using Anton Raves' parts with L3P or LDView, I decided it would be a good idea to create a repository to hold the include files.

(...) Thanks, actually I did cheat a bit. I made sure the cylinder heads are perpendicular to the crankShaft. With that in place the motion comes down to fairly basic geometry. First step is to calculate the pistonRound angle by reducing the whole (...) (15 years ago, 24-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The linear portion of the crank is easy enough (rotation around fixed axis). But the connecting rods have to have one end stay connected to the crank and the other end stay coincident with the axis of a cylinder. This means they need both an (...) (15 years ago, 24-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Thanks, that did it. There are still a number of unidentified files/parts, but the model appears to be all there. The placement of the parts is not very precise: lots of (small) gaps between bricks. Jetro (15 years ago, 24-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

Hello all, I just completed a new sample (Technic v8 engine) while hunting for bugs. And while wondering what to do next I thought maybe some of you have suggestions on things they would like see in a sample. Maybe demonstrating some aspect of the (...) (15 years ago, 24-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Not all parts that LDD have are also modeled as LDraw files. This could be one reason. There is also a file called LDRAW.XML that contains the conversion informations. Maybe you should update that file. Please see here:(URL) (15 years ago, 22-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) There should be an option 'File' - 'Export Model' and then choose the right file format 'Ldraw-Files (*.ldr)' and you have what you are looking for. That is what I do in my version 2.3.19 of LDD. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 21-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

I've seen the tutorial at LDraw.org about imprting an LDraw file into LDD, but can the opposite be done? I'd like to open an LDD file in order to make a decent render with LDView. Jetro (15 years ago, 21-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
