 | | MLCAD Spring Color Question
|
|
Ever since the new ldconfig.ldr update with the new colors, I'm getting a strange behavior in springs. When you use the spring generator in MLCAD, for some reason it assigns the color 250 to the edge lines regardless of the color of the spring (...) (15 years ago, 1-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

Oh yeah, one more thing. If you've gotta sort alphabetically, I say don't discriminate. Sort the Lego core colors in the 30000 range alphabetically too. What? You say can't do that, because those numbers mean something? How could that be? I'm gonna (...) (15 years ago, 19-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

If they aren't sorted by color then I still want red, blue, yellow, black, white, and grey near the top of the list. The numeric order has (...) (15 years ago, 19-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Now that's what I'm talking about! I just didn't say it right. ;) If you're not going to list the colors in ldconfig.ldr sorted by number then pick a useful ordering like Hue-Saturation-Brightness. Alphabetic order is not much better than (...) (15 years ago, 18-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
