Well, I finished the model I was working on and tried your suggestion. After
completing the manual download instructions I tried to download a part that I

- Sometimes the "Scan Parts" command must be run multiple times again. (I
experienced that when I downloaded larger amounts of part files at once.)

in the models directory where I place all the new parts I download as per their
recommendations. This is becoming very frustrating.

(...) If you want it to find parts in the Models directory, the MLCad.ini in the following zip will probably make that work: (URL) the MLCad.ini file from the zip into your main MLCad directory (in Program Files by default).
