I’m always happy to see new additions to the LDraw library. However, having just
installed the newest version, something seems to be terribly wrong.
When I started MLCad I got the report that stu213.dat and stu.211.dat were
missing. Using the partstracker, I discovered that these were non-certified
sub-parts. Well, no problem, I simply downloaded them and asked MLCad to create
a new parts list.
And that was where things got really weird...
Installing these parts seems to have corrupted the Fabuland figures. Because as
soon as I try to access any part under "F", MLCad starts howling about missing
parts. Parts which are, I might add, certified and part of the newest LDraw
library pack.
I’ve finally traced the problem to the stu211.dat part. As soon as that’s added
to the parts library and written into the parts list, the Fabuland figure’s
heads and torsos disappear from MLCad even though they’re part of the LDraw
library. And once that’s happened, the only way to solve it is by removing the
offending part, delete the parts list, and create a new one.
I have tried to make a clean install by replacing my own library with the newest
from ldraw.org, but the same problem occurs there.
Am I the only one to have this problem?
And why does the official library require non-certified parts?
Regards
Allan
