Oy, why didn't I think of this before!?!?! There's a SolidWorks-supported website where people upload models for public consumption. I put in a search for "lego" & got 309 hits. This will go a long way towards meeting my needs! (URL) (13 years ago, 22-Nov-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Bram- Thank you very much for your explanation. I had only a vague comprehension of this concept, & you helped solidify it. (No pun intended!) Well, 3DWin is *supposed* to be able to take .DAT files & make .IGS files out of them. (URL) haven't (...) (13 years ago, 27-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The modeling strategies for Solidworks and LDraw are fundamentally different: LDraw is based on triangle meshes, and Solidworks is based on constructive solid geometry. Going from CSG to mesh is easy, but going the other way requires some AI (...) (13 years ago, 26-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)

Some further progress. It turns out that I was able to convert a .DAT file to .STL with LDView & import it into SolidWorks, but it further turned out that, once I'd imported an .STL file into SolidWorks, I couldn't do very much with it. I can't mate (...) (13 years ago, 25-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)

Hi- I seem to want to do something a little bit backwards relative to what most people & most converters seem to be doing... :) I'm a die-hard SolidWorks user & wish to import LDraw .dat models into SolidWorks. I'm having some trouble. Here's what (...) (13 years ago, 24-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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

(...) 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)
