Hi Kim,
I have some answers for you:
LDList needs to know where you installed LDraw. Here's how you tell LDList the
correct information by setting the LDRAWDIR environment varible:
- Click on the start menu
- Right click on My Computer and choose properties
- Once the System Properties window pops up, click on the Advanced tab
- Click the Environment Varibles button
- Click on the New button under the User Varibles box
- For Varible name type LDRAWDIR
- For Varible value type in the full path to the LDraw directory (C:\LDraw if
you use the default install loaction on the disk)
- Click OK until you've closed the 3 windows
- LDList should now work
I'm not sure about LDLite's VEC.
