 | | 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)

Just imagine allowing the user to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)
