(...) Um, yeah, that would be me. The March version is missing the three new colors that TLG provided to us earlier in 2010. I thought that the July update was there on the website when I clicked on the link yesterday before Tim's post. Regardless, (...) (14 years ago, 8-Jan-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LdrDat2Dxf and LdrDat2Obj
 
Hi everyone, Following a hard disk crash recently, I had trouble locating Rolf Redford's utility LdrDat2Dxf (a download link to LdrDat2Obj can still be found on the LDraw site). After contacting Rolf he kindly emailed me another copy of this (...) (14 years ago, 8-Jan-11, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: How About a Color Tracker?
 
I don't think much harm is done about silver colors - afterall, correspondance with LEGO internal color numbers remain somewhat academic, what we need is to know which LDraw color to use in each case. If I understand well (correct me otherwise!): - (...) (14 years ago, 8-Jan-11, to lugnet.cad)
