   Hi, can’t seem to get this answered privately, so I’ll try here... :)

Sorry, I must have missed your email?


I sent several messages to parts@lraw.org about this, and about how to become authorized to submit my AutoCAD/SolidWorks-created parts. I used the link at ldraw.org that says, “email Steve Bliss or Chris Dee” for both questions.. No problem, though, as suspected LUGNET provides all the answers! :)



I don’t recall receiving such a request, and if you really did email parts@lraw.org then you would not have got an answer, since the real address is parts@ldraw.org. The link on the main web-page looks OK to me, but if you found a link with an incorrect mailto tag, could you please let us know which page, so it can be fixed.


  
  
   We have NEVER been able to get Parts tracker to work (always says, “Library subdirectory must be included in the filename” I have no idea what that means).

It means “the file you asked for isn’t on the PT”.



Ahh.. Thanks for that. Perhaps that could be added to the error message to make it more clear? Right now a casual visitor gets the impression the part may exist, just not in the place you specified (since you don’t know the correct subdirectory)..

Yes - I’ll take a look at improving that.

  
Thanks,

Darrell

(...) The Parts Tracker error message has now been improved, to be clearer and provide a link to the partsref search. Also if the part does exist it includes a direct link to the download area. For example see (URL) But I don't have the rights to (...) (20 years ago, 29-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
