 | | Part Measurements and Authoring
|
|
A question for all part authors How do you figure out the measurements for your parts? I'm not talking about the obvious measurements such as stud width but the more intricate details on some of the more complex parts. Do you use a micrometer, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | MOTM/SOTM for February 2003
|
|
Do I ever hate the cold & flu season..... Anyway, here goes; MOTM is Cale Leiphart's "1949 John Deere Model A". This was actually a tough call. Cale's model tied with Carlos un apellido's Supercar model, so I had to be the tie-breaker. The supercar (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | Ldraw Viewer 0.5
|
|
Once again it seem I have too much spare time, since I have elevated Ldraw Viewer to development version 0.5. The big change is that you can now rotate parts using the mouse (rather than by dialog box). I have also eliminated a number of bugs (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| | Re: Ldglite, crosshair in LEdit emu mode?
|
|
(...) Ah, I searched for "crosshair" in the documentation, but didn't check what the axis was. It looks like it displays the rotation centre at all time? That's useful. As you say, it works in a different way than the LEdit crosshair, but it's still (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It might already have what you want. Look for the Axis command on the Turn menu. The command is something like /ta to toggle it. It's not exactly the 2D crosshair from LEdit, but it could be useful. If not, let me know what would make it (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Ldglite, crosshair in LEdit emu mode?
|
|
I have used the LEdit emulation mode in Ldglite a lot recently, and I find it very useful. However, there is one graphical feature that I miss from the orginal LEdit, namely the crosshair. The crosshair is useful when rotating parts, to see where (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The easiest way would be a list of updates for example a simple text file containing the package names and date of release. This way an application can check when it last downloaded an update and incrementally load newer updates or even (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't like making "standards" that only work for products from one company. But nothing prevents somebody from implementing a protocol as a DLL for Windows - or as an Open Source library that anybody can use. But first we should agree on a (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
