Hi folks, I'm currently working on the "Canvas Wagon Cover with Oval and Two Crossed Cutlasses Pattern" (URL) and before I start cleaning the part for PT-fitness I'd like to ask the LSC for some guidelines, since this is the first canvas part ever (...)

(...) As Travis remarked, many people install a program and then forget about the Read Me, myself included. (...) None what so ever. I often install open source (and even some commercial) programs that have less documentation than yours. (...) No, (...) (19 years ago, 15-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) I'd suggest moving the Readme into the app wrapper and adding an item to the help menu that uses [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openFile:] to show it. I installed Bricksmith a long time ago, and had completely forgotten that it came with a (...) (19 years ago, 13-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Sigh...Nobody ever reads the Read Me. Though those tidbits are indeed documented, I admit documentation is not my strong suit. I generally hope that users will explore menu items and find them to be fairly self-explanatory. (...) I'm curious (...) (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)

| | Part 50944x1?
|
|
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)

| | Re: can LPUB PLI BEGIN ... sections be nested?

(...) 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.

(...) Bricksmith is certainly unlike MLCad, which is indeed a fine program. However, I'd like to humbly correct a few inaccuracies I perceive in your list of drawbacks. (...) True. That is a definite difference. (...) False. Keyboard controls for (...) (19 years ago, 4-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

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)

(...) I second that. I'm quite novice at virtual building, but Bricksmith has proven very straightforward to use (it's event better with two screens, too), and very convivial. MLcad is good to, of course, but I don't see why you'd go through all the (...) (19 years ago, 2-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
