  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) I too am sorry for the late reply, but I hope I can help with this issue. I experienced the same (I presume) problem with LDView "dying" while rendering bigger models. What I found out is that it is LPub who gives up on LDView if it is not (...) (13 years ago, 18-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Too bad there isn't a command-line only version of LDView for those people who need it. Mike (13 years ago, 22-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) I'm pretty sure you can run LDView on the command line. Do you mean a command line only version of LPub? (13 years ago, 23-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) I *know* that you can run LDView from the command line. That is how LPub uses LDView and ldglite as well. Kevin (13 years ago, 24-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Hi Matija, Jaco is increasing the timeout for both ldview and ldglite. Kevin (13 years ago, 24-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Yeah, ok, I knew that too but I was hedging just in case I misunderstood what he was talking about. So what's the missing feature? Maybe an option to see the LDView command line running in a logging window somewhere? I don't know if LDView (...) (13 years ago, 24-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Jaco has already increased the timeout, so he knows where in the code we timeout. LPub does pop up some dialog, but it could print out the LDView/ldglite output. It is in the tmp directory somewhere I think. Jaco, you up for adding that? Its (...) (13 years ago, 26-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) AFAIK, a command-line-only version of LDView would return control back to the calling program when done, thus eliminating the need to continually poll for results. Mike (13 years ago, 27-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) The problem with Windows is that only command line applications have access to stdout. And command line applications automatically create and show their own command window (DOS prompt to many people) when they are run from anywhere but inside (...) (13 years ago, 29-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) I too have run into this on many occasions and have had to use some pretty ugly workarounds. I've done instructions with not only thousands of parts, but sometimes many more synthesized parts than regular, especially for pneumatic models. LPub (...) (13 years ago, 3-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Sure, I'll look into it. I think it would be possible to make an error.log file or something when timeout is exceeded and write it in the file. Jaco (13 years ago, 10-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) LPub renders with LDView from the command line. Kevin, wouldn't it be possible to eleminate the time-out all together? Jaco (13 years ago, 13-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Alas, I've just learned from Kevin this is not possible. The timeout has been increased for the next release of LPub. Jaco (13 years ago, 14-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)
