Mike,
First off: thank you very much for MLCad! It looks great, and seems very
spunky (ie, quick on the redraw).
A couple of things I found pretty quickly:
1. MLCad doesn't look in the current directory for subfiles. The current
directory is a part of the standard "LDraw search path". Specifically,
when LDraw is looking for file <filename>, it will look for:
<ldraw>\p\<filename>
<ldraw>\parts\<filename>
<ldraw>\models\<filename>
<filename>
It's most convenient for advanced models if that last step, looking for
<filename> with no extra path information, is interpreted as starting in
the same directory as the main model file.
2. MLCad doesn't recognize the LDLite extended meta-commands. This isn't a
bug, but it would be a *great* feature. At least so I could reference my
LDLite files in MLCad.
3. The function to update moved parts freaked out when I tried to use it.
I opened my file, clicked File | Scan Parts. I got a message that new
parts were found, I OK'ed it, and suddenly I was left with a blank MLCad
screen. No indication of what had happened.
4. Scan Parts should only update the model in memory, not overwrite the
model file on disk. I later re-opened the file I had scanned/updated, and
tried to re-scan. It didn't find anything. Apparently, Scan Parts had
rewritten my file.
That's it for now, I'll come back with more as I use MLCad more.
Steve
