  New tool: LDDesignPad 0.3 for LDraw
 
Hello! I just 'released' a new tool I was working since last weekend. I called it LDDesignPad and is just a very basic editor with some LDraw functions/tools. LDDesignPad was mainly written because I am an reviewer in the parts tracker and I needed (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It sound like a pile of features for a basic editor. Almost too good to be true. I hope I can find some time to try it out. -Chuck (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello Carsten, In deed a great program! Hassle-free installation, opens as fast as NotePad, drag-n-drop files into workspace. I miss an L3Lab button, but since I don't use LDView, I renamed a copy of L3Lab.exe to LDView.exe and thus fooled (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

Looks promising! I'm pretty excited that there's another program that does inlining. :) I only played with it for a minute or two. I had a couple of problems: - The Inline option was always disabled. I only found Inline on the context menu. Is there (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes, as long as you run the program. But when I've restarted program, it's back to My Documents. About the inlining function: The colour 16 should be replaced by the colour code of the original line. Also, there is something wrong with the (...)

(...) How about a user defined button or two? I did the same thing with ldglite.exe, but then I wanted to add a few commandline args and stick it into a batch file, but calling it LDView.bat didn't fool LDDesignPad. Just imagine allowing the user to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello! Thank you very much for all your praise and suggestions regarding LDDP! Expect a new version tomorrow ;). Play well! Carsten (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Me too. In a near future, I don't have to have a separate PC with Win95 or English Win98 to run LDAO on. :) (...) I had some problem with inlining disabled, too.

  Re: New tool: LDDesignPad 0.3 for LDraw
 
(...) It is very exciting to me. I'm running the Swedish version of Win98 at home, and that means in LDAO I have to: 1. Replace all decimal points in the file to inline with commas. 2. Replace all decimal points in the type 1 line(s) I want to (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: New tool: LDDesignPad 0.3 for LDraw
 
(...) I only know of one inliner, the one in LDAO. So now I know about 2 inliners. :) If there are other programs around that perform inlining, I'd *really* like to hear about them. Anyone? Steve (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: New tool: LDDesignPad 0.3 for LDraw
 
(...) I forgot to mention that I have made a working inliner, but it's inside of LDA2001 and invisible, out of reach for general purpose inlining. I did have plans to break it out and make a standalone utility, but for some reason, I didn't. And now (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

It inlines them ok, but the LEDIT mode currently only saves (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: New tool: LDDesignPad 0.3 for LDraw
 
(...) LDraw-mode, running under Emacs, can be used to inline any parts, primitives and sub models. Emacs runs under virtually any OS, hence there has been the posibility to inline under "any" OS for a couple of years or so... Fredrik (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: New tool: LDDesignPad 0.3 for LDraw
 
(...) Well, I don't know about the other viewers, but you'd have to modify the registry to make it work for LDView (not that this is difficult).

(...) Yeah, LDLite, Ldglite, and L3Lab all have command-line options for polling. LDLite and Ldglite use a simple -P flag. L3Lab uses: -PollSilent -NoCache -DontAddToMRU -NotReusable -FromLDAO Just to be thorough, I think. :) LDAO's Editor also (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
