 | | Reinstalling all cad stuff —John VanZwieten
|
| | | I'm finally getting around to installing all the Lego cad programs on my new PC. I know there are a couple of changes I need to make to the configuration files to get Ldraw/Ledit working, but I can't remember or find what they are. Can someone help (...)

| | | | Two problems so far: 1. I've got LDLite working with files off my hard drive, but it won't work for files on lugnet.cad.dat. It just loads LDLite and says "finished" without drawing anything on the screen. If I save the file to hard disk and then (...) (26 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | Are you using the brand-new, just-released yesterday LDLite 1.6? Your problem sounds like what happened in 1.5 if you did not have the LDRAWDIR environment variable set correctly. -gyug (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | OK. I'm having the same problem described below in #1. Every thing works for files on my drive, but when I click on the "Open this as an LDraw .Dat file" on the Lugnet.Cad.Dat pages, I get a blank screen. One thing I notice is that just before (...)

|
| | | | | | First, try the obvious: run 1.6 and reset the LDRAW base directory. I don't know exactly why, but that has helped before. Netscape+LDLite works OK for me, so I'm just guessing at the problem. After the "Finished" appears, go to the File/Save As menu (...) (26 years ago, 13-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | | | Re: Reinstalling all cad stuff —Paul Gyugyi
|
| | | | | | I can guess what it is: IE is using a temp file name and path name that is a little too weird for LDLite. The LDLite code that opens file names changed in 1.6, and it is possible that a unallowed symbol is in the path to the file, e.g. something not (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)
