   Work in progress version 0.9.4 of Quad2Dat is available here: (URL) Added the minifig head and legs template. Squashed a few bugs.

     (...) One quick suggestion. I realy would like the ability to define my own templates. (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     (...) 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)
   
        Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Andrew Westrate
      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)
   
        Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Larry Pieniazek
     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)
    
         Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Ross Crawford
      (...) 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)
    
         Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) 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 (...)

          Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Thomas Burger
       (...) 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.

           Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Larry Pieniazek
       (...) Sorry for any confusion on that point, I knew that but maybe didn't state it very clearly... the initial error is being introduced there. But the tool is SO useful that it's worth working around, hence my questions... I think I've got it now. (...) (22 years ago, 31-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)  
     
          Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Don Heyse
      (...) "Bogus commands", eh? Interesting choice of words. 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 (...)

         Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Travis Cobbs
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) 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)

     (...) I believe either LDDesignPad or LDraw Add-On will work for you. In LDAO, I'd open your file in the text editor. The first time you use the editor, you'll want to go into the editor's Options | Viewer Settings menu, and select which viewer to (...) (22 years ago, 31-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

        Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Steve Bliss
     (...) I guess it depends. Did Chris ask you to keep the file secret? Generally, my feeling is that you should hold onto the file, unless Chris specifically told you it was OK to pass it around. Steve (22 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: ** QUAD2DAT ** version 0.9.4 released ** —Orion Pobursky
   (...) Actually, if you go to the Quad2DAT website you'll find the v0.9.5 executable available for download. (The version number is in the fine print below the download link.) -Orion (22 years ago, 30-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
