  Re: Download parts automatically with your preferred modeller?
 
[trimmed newsgroup header to just lugnet.cad.dev] (...) I think it would be very cool if editors/renderers would automatically grab parts from the 'net. The files have been available from the website for a couple of years now. Steve (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Most of my part-authoring time is spent in a text editor. Sometimes I use a spreadsheet. :) Frankly, I can't imagine coding parts in MLCAD. Too much clicking in and out of dialogs. Steve (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: My ideal Part-Authoring-Application (PAA)
 
OK, you had me going there for a second. I started a thread looking for CAD-DAT file converters and I thought you had one! (...) I'm curious how this works (if it's true). Are you guys modeling in commercial 3D software and then using some level of (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  My ideal Part-Authoring-Application (PAA)
 
Dear Code-gods, I'd like to thank you for all the little progs and tools you have created throughout the years. Authoring a part today has become much easier than a year ago, but... Guys there's always a "but", I get seasick from jumping from one (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: New MAC Modeller for LDRAW FILES
 
(...) Sure...not a problem. I don't get a chance to do much here anymore, but after BricksWest, and some good LDraw convos, I'm more pumped than ever to get a Mac LDraw utility completed. (...)

(...) If you're using OpenGL, you should be able to call glFinish to force the drawing to complete. The glFinish command blocks until all previous OpenGL commands have completed. Do NOT call this command except at the very end of you frame, because (...) (22 years ago, 24-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: New MAC Modeller for LDRAW FILES
 
Thanks for the feedback guys, It’s good to see that the program does run – and no reported crashes? I will answer some of the comments first, Matt – not all parts are drawing; have you set the Ldraw folder location in “Preferences” yet? Matt – part (...)

More commonly, "Hear, hear." In this media, maybe it should be, "Read, read." To more closely match the olde English, maybe, "Lo, lo," which means "Look, look." In whichever form it is stated, however, I must admit to strong agreement with the (...)
