Hello,
I have been working with mlcad on a set of   replacement ldraw primitives.
These primitves have 48 sided circles apposed to ldraw’s usual 16.  I have
created these primitives to be used with various ldraw programs with my
eventual goal of creating dxf models that are based on the ldraw library.  I
have been duplicating the primitives with the new resolution to the best of
my ability they look good, but they are as of now not perfect and not a
complete set. The problem can be seen on my  incomplete replacement of
connect.dat in the form of gaps when the part is viewed zoomed in.  If you
wish to contribute either with advice, criticism, or files please feel free.
You can find the files and a comparison image at

Make sure to back up the original files before replaceing

Hey, Chris!  You realize that there are a number of standard 48-sided
primitives in your ldraw\p\48\ directory already, right?

(...) I have a dumb one. Is there something that you should do to tell MLcad or whatever to use the 48 primitives in place of the lower resolution ones? Or is that something that has to be changed in the parts that use the primitive in question? (...) (22 years ago, 7-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad)
