I think partsref uses a perl script, but you may need a UNIX OS of some sort to run it on. :) You might be able to rig up a batch file to do it with ldlite or the ldglite offscreen renderer on Windows. Something like this: FOR %%F IN (*.dat) (...) (21 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| (...) The above URL is correct but I went back and reread your post and all of the primitives you listed are already official, they were released with the last parts update. Did you download the last update? If not, here's the URL to the 2003-2 (...) (21 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) I have a generator that hasn't been released based on little-known LDView functionality. However, while it seems to work, it hasn't been tested too well, and has some limitations at the moment: It doesn't allow you to specify the angle, it (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

The part color can be changed with a -C setting. The background color (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| (...) Hehe. The funny thing here is that it was originally written in May of 2002. It's a real simple program, less than 400 lines of code, and someone requested that I write it. He was going to use it for an online catalog in a LEGO-related web (...) (21 years ago, 5-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
