  Re: *** MLCad V3.30 ***
 
(...) This is excellent news Michael! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. We couldn't ask for anything more, especially since you do this for free! I hope that you know how much the entire community appreciates your effort! Many thanks, (...) (15 years ago, 8-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: *** MLCad V3.30 ***
 
(...) Now that I have installed MLCad and read all informations I hope we can get an update soon. I have two reason: 1) Implementation of language support is different to what we have implemented. 2) I miss the "dithered" colours. Not the dithered (...)

(...) Thank you very much for updating MLCad to support LDConfig.ldr. I hope that this will not be the last update to this wonderful application. Now I have to see how it works. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 8-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: LPub 4.0.0.4 CLEAR / BUFEXCHG issue
 
(...) Pleasure. (I write software for a living and keep threatening to change the "on-hold music" to "If *you* can't replicate it, *I* can't fix it!") LPub 4 with LDView 4.1 has made making instructions fun again - from MLCad design/build suitable (...) (15 years ago, 8-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: *** MLCad V3.30 ***
 
(...) You just ground my yawn to a halt. LDConfig support is something I've been wanting for a *very* long time. Now I can define my own background colour by using the unused colour 31. :P Love it. -Santeri (15 years ago, 8-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) I have authored patterned parts, and for me this is the only viable option. This has worked just fine for the past decade, and I don't see any good reason why it should be broken.

  Technic Gear 42 Tooth (744.dat) issue?
 
Anyone else have trouble displaying Technic Gear 42 Tooth (744.dat) in MLCad? Be careful, on my system, it causes an immediate hard crash of MLCad, losing any changes in your dat file! I'm pretty sure that it's the first time that I've ever seen (...) (15 years ago, 7-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) Two things. First of all, is Maersk Blue hard-coded into any part files? I would expect parts that show up in Maersk Blue to have color 16 encoded in the file, and the user to select Maersk Blue as the parts' color when building a model. Since (...)

  LPub 4.0.0.0.4 BOM issue with BUFEXCHG  [DAT]

  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts

  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts

  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) It would be very interesting which applications can not work with the (RGB colors (of the form 0x2RRGGBB)). Are they useful/necessary/developed? If someone has those application to test and make a summary of that would be great. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 6-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
 
  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) For what it counts, I'd go for: * Explicitly disallow "dither" colors in all official parts, but allow RGB colors (of the form 0x2RRGGBB) in their place in patterned/sticker parts. This solution would give me the most freedom. I could just (...) (15 years ago, 6-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
