Hey guys, I present to you my Monkeypede. (A centipede made with left brown monkey arms.) This is my first LDraw model ever! I was very excited about LDraw after being present in Tim's tutorial at Brickfest '02. The model's quite small, but it was (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

(...) Open your file in MLCAD. Choose Multipart | Import Model to import each submodel file into your main file. Save the file (maybe under a new name, with a .mpd extension). Upload the new file. Steve (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

(...) The problem is with LUGNET's code to return LDraw content (the [DAT] hyperlink). It doesn't recognize the .ldr file extension. If you copy the code out of your message, and save it in a new file, the monkypede renders just fine. I've attached (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

Todd - This is an old topic, and I came across it cause I was browsing for models posted on the groups. It brings up a concern of mine - the CAD DAT groups and file associations/extensions in Windows. I'm a bit rusty on MIME-types in Win2K, cause I (...)

Quick followup with more notes: I have MLCad set to be my default program to load LDraw files. It works just fine with opening files on my hard drive, but it will fail to open the file when LUGNET passes it 'ldraw.cgi.' Is this an MLCad problem? (I (...)

If the content contains a '0 Name' line, then the name that's found on the line is the name that's now returned in the Content-disposition header of the HTTP response.

(...) Ok. MSIE 5.0 still tells me I'm attempting to open the file "ldraw.cgi." I'm trying this on two computers. The second computer, which doesn't have file associations configured for LDraw stuff, asks me what program to open the file in. I select (...)

You can blame MSIE and its crappy file handling here. Some parts of MSIE will use the MIME type from the server (application/x-ldraw or whatever) and some parts will use the filename. Unfortunatly, IE seems not to handle content-disposition (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.admin.general)
