Where can I get all the minifig parts referenced in MLCAD minifig generator?

Steve I know this method works for sure.  MANUALLY edit the MLCAD.ini file
(use a text editor) and add the parts you want that the minifig generator to
"see".

Or you can try this method (this might work).  Open MLCad and click on file
-> Scan parts.  This will cause MLCad to scan for parts and re-create your
.LST parts files.  In doing this it *might* add the minfigs parts to the
minfig generator.

Edit the ini-file in an editor is the only way to update the minifig
generator. The generator is in no way connected to the parts.lst-file.
(Actually the alpha version had all refrences hardcoded into MLCad.exe.
Therefore the ini-file is a huge improvement an a great tool to customize
the  prog. Take full advantage of it).

When I edited the MLCad.ini for the 3.00-release I included the part-update
05-2003 http://www.ldraw.org/library/updates/view0205/index.shtml

Steve, if you're going to update the file please consider also Michael
Lachmann's note:

; Feel free to modify the file, but I ask you to send me a copy of it
; to be able to distribute it to other users as well. Send copies to
; support@lm-software.com with a calling subject. Please do not send copies
; if using unofficial parts, also make sure you are using the latest part
; libraries from www.ldraw.org

bye, willy
