Hello, When exporting an LDD file to LDraw the xyz position is slightly off the grid. What I do now is replace all dots with comma's, import the LDraw file in Excel, round all xyz coordintates on whole numbers, copy that to notepad and past in the (...) (13 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

Hi all, Currently I am working on a model where I make extensive use of Groups in MLCad in combination with LPub command REMOVE GROUP. Regarding Groups in MLCad, can someone verify this: - Elements in a group should all be part of the same step in (...) (13 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

For various reasons, I've been attempting to extract a vector line drawing of a large LDraw model. On the surface, this would seem simple (which is always the case for the hardest projects). LDraw itself is a vector format. Each edge line is defined (...) (13 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Has anyone modeled a bit of flex tubing that has beveled ends? I think I know what I need to do to model it but actually doing it may be beyond my patience, (but maybe I'm using the wrong tool, working with quads in MLCad is a bit hard) Thanks. (13 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
