Hi all,
Many thanks for your replies.
This project isn’t anything major. All it is an excel file that you can use as a
template to update the parts tree list helping to arrange a display parts more
neatly, categorised…. Then contents from the excel template can be copied and
used to overwrite the LDraw parts list file and MLCad Parts Tree List.
I wanted to included all official parts etc.. in a package as I have them neatly
categorized in subfolders within the LDraw Parts folder.
e.g
Parts/Parts-Main
Parts/Parts-Sub
Parts/Parts-Modified
Parts/Parts-Updated
….etc
It just makes working with parts much more easily.
I will have the excel file up for download soon and a webpage explaining this
project, screenshot, etc... Just waiting for hosting company to get back to me.
