I haven't been following developments about legocad for about a year. I remember when I converted LDraw models to Pov-ray back then, only some of the parts were in the library. Now before getting everything back in gear, I wonder if this situation (...) (26 years ago, 2-Dec-98, to lugnet.cad)

I installed PovRay and L3P and both do run, but L3P can't find the proper part files. I tried to run a batch file to set the envariable LDRAWDIR, specify the batch file as properties of L3P and so on, but still no effect. Also tried with LDraw, L3P (...) (26 years ago, 2-Dec-98, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Well, I don't actually *use* L3P (I should, if only for the lint function). I know L3P's usage of LGEO parts has been discussed around on the L-CAD mailing list, but I don't have an archive of those messages. Anyone with a *real* answer want (...) (26 years ago, 2-Dec-98, to lugnet.cad)

Well, I had a closer look and after some fiddling and trial & error, I found out what caused the problem: the path of the LDRAW dir wasn't fully 8.3 format. It had one longer dir name somewhere in there. When I noticed this I recalled something (...) (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.cad)
