(...) Congratulations, Orion. That's nice to hear. (...) Thanks for at least trying it out. It is unfortunate you were unsatisfied, and you raise several valid points below. But you also lament about the "absence" of several features which are (...) (19 years ago, 5-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Ouch. Why is that? Bricksmith and MLCad are definitely different. Bricksmith offers a Mac-friendly interface designed by a lifelong Mac user. It makes organizing a model into submodels and steps completely seamless. It offers an editor with (...) (19 years ago, 5-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Please visit my webside (URL) and look for the Tiny Turbo models. I am sure I have used there an available part that fits nearly for this purpose. cu mikeheide (19 years ago, 8-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)

|

Does anyone have even a mock-up that's usable until the full part is ready? It's the wheels for almost all of the Tiny Turbo sets. I've been putting the tyres in without the wheels and man do those cars look weird. :-) (19 years ago, 6-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Steve, LPub cannot (and should not) support any nested META commands, except for the nesting implied by use of sub-models. I think the mistake you are making is to synthesize actual lego products, rather than by hose/cable type. The purpose (...) (19 years ago, 5-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Moving things manually a long distance is cumbersome, even with the coarse grid. The inspector does show the coordinates of the selected part or submodel, although I'm not sure if that's what you mean by cursor coordinates. Note that if you do (...)

(...) Yes, this is very annoying as using the arrow keys to move a part/assembly all the way across the model can be slow and painful, especially since Bricksmith doesn't seem to display cursor coordinates.

Can LPUB PLI BEGIN sections be nested? I did not have this problem until I started using lsynthcp version 3.0 (which I probably got directly from Kevin). This version of LSynth automatically inserts LPUB parts list directives to substitute the (...) (19 years ago, 4-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'm going to have to disagree. As a long time MLCad user and a recent Mac convert (Nov 2007), I feel that while Bricksmith is a very good program, it has some very definite drawbacks that makes it difficult to use. Here's a list from off the (...) (19 years ago, 3-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
