If you want it to find parts in the Models directory, the MLCad.ini in the
following zip will probably make that work:
http://www.halibut.com/~tcobbs/ldraw/private/MLCad-ini.zip
Put the MLCad.ini file from the zip into your main MLCad directory (in Program
Files by default). If you already have an MLCad.ini file, it may be the source
of the problem. But you will probably want to back it up anyway. After
installing the file, re-launch MLCad and scan for parts again.
The MLCad.ini above will search for parts in the LDraw\Parts directory, the
LDraw\Unofficial\Parts directory (used by LDView, which is why I have the file
in the first place), and the LDraw\Models directory. I don't really use MLCad
much, but it works for me. I see the unofficial parts auto-downloaded by LDView
and also the contents of the Models directory (although I'll admit that I don't
have any parts in my Models directory, just models).
If nothing else works, download LDView, tell it you don't have the LDraw parts
library installed when it asks, then point it to the parent directory of where
you want the LDraw directory to be. Rename your existing LDraw directory so
that LDView won't find it. It will then download the full official library. If
you then open up a model that contains unofficial parts, it will automatically
download all the unofficial parts to the LDraw\Unofficial directory. LDView can
be downloaded from here:
