(...) Hi all, I've noticed that the inserted pictures is mirrored, left is right and vice versa. Does this makes all the with this program done parts unusable? CU Bernd PS: the number of parts are exploding with this program (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi Chris, I've given quad2dat a try in creating a few parts, and I thought I'd post a list of bugs i've encountered and some suggestions. But first, I just want to say that it is *so* much easier to do a pattern with this program than by hand. It (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I like this program a lot. I have a number of features/suggestions to add, is it still in active development. However I have one problem that I need help with from the user community. It seems that there is a rotation being inserted somewhere... I (...) (22 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hi Lar, If it's a rotate rather than a mirror, you can use the LDAO editor to quickly rotate it. This actually rotates the matrix rather than adding a ROTATE. LDAO can also do a mirror, but it's a bit more fiddling around IIRC, and I'd have to (...) (22 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) OK, this isn't because of the "rotation" of the parts, it's because MLCad is inserting bogus commands at the top of the file 0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 "Custom" 0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0 It also is changing the value of the filename (removing the (...)

(...) no, your both wrong. the rotating/mirror problem is within q2dat. -bug report- when doing a 1 x 2 tile q2dat mirrors your quads. when doing certain panels or bricks, like for instance. do a 1 x 4 x 3 panel and make a quad in it. then save it.

(...) You should be able to fix it by creating another file that references your file using a mirror matrix, and then inline that part with an inliner tool. So, for instance, if your part is x123.dat, you would create a file called mirror.dat with (...) (22 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

However since Parts Tracker is going to complain about any unofficial or undocumented meta commands in submitted parts, it'd be nice if MLCAD didn't insert these 0 ROTATION lines unless they (...)

(...) Although I got MLCad to do it for me, this is good advice as I don't like what else it did to the file. Can you recommend a good inliner that runs in Win2K and is suitable for novice use? Thanks! (22 years ago, 31-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
