Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me out. For some reason
certain Ldraw parts seem to have disappeared from the parts
selection in my copy of MLCAD, most notably some of the technic
liftarms. It happened a while ago, so I reloaded the complete
parts catalog from Ldraw.org, and was able to use the parts
temporarily, but they seem to have disappeared again. I searched
through all the parts to see if they had been relocated under
different categories, but didn't find them. If anyone has an idea
on how to fix the problem, I'd appreciate it.

Try this:

Open MLCad
Goto File -> Scan Parts
When MLCad prompts, select yes to writing a new Parts.lst file.

This probably will fix your problem

By the way, did this problem occur after you installed a parts update?

Well, it seems to have organized some things, but I'm still
missing some parts, most noticeably the 7 and 11-long technic
liftarms. To answer your question, I have installed some new
parts lately, including some unofficial ones. (I hope these
aren't prone to causing errors in the system.) I don't know
what the problem is, but I'm open to more suggestions.
