  Help with generating bmp/gif from ldraw parts?
 
Ok, I'll admit I'm not very experienced with any of the lego cad packages since I find them (for me) too hard to use. But I am trying to generate a VEC within LDAO for every part in every color. There is probably an easier way to do it that what I (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) You're lucky, about a year ago I got a request to write a program just like that. :) I wrote a program that creates pictures of all parts and automatically zooms in/out each part so that they are always completely visible and there's no white (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) AWESOME! Do you have this available for download someplace? BMP/gif are fine - I will probably leave them in gif but I can always convert them to png later if needed. (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Well, I just re-generated all the images with no resolution specified. It did run full-screen, but it did not crop the images at all. When I view them in the VEC I have to scroll to even see the little parts like the 1x3 arch. This has (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Help with generating bmp/gif from ldraw parts?
 
(...) Just for kicks I switched back to using LDraw for generating the catalog images (before I got Leo's awesome program!) and it worked almost perfectly. I say almost because the little pieces were most definitely cropped to include only the (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)
