    Ldraw/MLCAD question —Leonard Hoffman
   I've got a MLCAD/LDraw question. Ive just loaded it onto my computer, although I'm not sure I downloaded/expanded every component to just where it should be (like in the same folder, etc), although i've tried to move everything back now. When I open (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

        Re: Ldraw/MLCAD question —Tim Courtney
   (...) The hard way: Open the file C:\LDraw\PARTS.LST. Find the entries you don't want, and manually remove them. You won't see them on the parts list in any LDraw-based program you use, but if you're never going to use them...it'll work. (note, each (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: Ldraw/MLCAD question —Amy Hughes
     (...) I've added parts to PARTS.LST, and I've placed the DAT files for the new parts with the standard parts. Will my new parts still be in PARTS.LST if I download a parts update and re-compile PARTS.LST? Is the list generated from the parts on-hand (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: Ldraw/MLCAD question —Tim Courtney
     (...) I *believe* it compiles the list based on what's in C:\LDraw\PARTS\, so if you add parts to this directory, yes. He'd have to cut out the undesireables each time because of this fact.

   This discussion about raised a suggestion for a nice feature for MLCad (and perhaps also for other LDraw building software): A possibility to filter all patterned bricks. And have this filter be enabled and disabled with a press of a button. (The (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

   (...) Have you looked at the "group configuration options"? I think it's on the Tools menu (or maybe Extras). I use this feature to separate out "unmodified" bricks and plates into "Bricks" and "Plates" categories, and the modified ones go into (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.cad)
   
        group configuration (was: Ldraw/MLCAD question) —Amy Hughes
     (...) FWIW, Microsoft's .NET framework version 1.1 has a regular expression parser. I don't know if it exists in the MFC, or in version 1.0 of the framework (I'm new to Visual Studio), but if it's available to the mlcad build I'd really like to see (...)
