(...) It appears so, even if I wish it was just the opposite. I still haven't been convinced why it is so wrong to use the backwards compatible color number range when possible.

(...) Hi, All these colors are in the 'dithered' range, if the actual dither color is wanted by the part author it has nothing to do with mlcad or has it?

(...) There may be problems matching these colors. As you note, these are patterned parts and the colors Lego uses for the printing on patterned parts do not necessarily match the colors used for the plastic brick. -Orion (15 years ago, 1-Oct-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Hi, Scott Wardlaw has written a prog which matches the colors used in the official parts against the now updated LDConfig.ldr colors chart. This is a list of parts that use colors which were mainly defined in MLCad and have never been LDraw colors: (...) (15 years ago, 30-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) In the mklist beta I posted there's an undocumented -r switch to turn off the ragged edges and make room for 25 char filenames.

Sorry to follow-up my own post, but I did a quick test on MLCAD. (...) I had a DUH! moment after posting the previous message. If MLCAD can use a ragged format file, of course it can use a fixed-25 format file. DOH. (...) I prepared a PARTS.LST file (...) (15 years ago, 29-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
