  Re: new Windows-based Lego CAD program
 
Gary Williams: (...) [...] It looks like there are lots of people writing LDraw renderers and editors at the moment. I would like to suggest that they also start releasing the source code[1] so we can get a bit of code reuse. I suppose I should show (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  new Windows-based Lego CAD program
 
I'm developing a new Windows-based Lego CAD program to overcome some of the shortcomings of similar programs, with emphasis being placed on ease of use while allowing a great deal of flexibility. Details are available at (URL) I welcome (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: DAT file cleanup tools? or: Zero by any other name
 
It is the previous version of ML-Cad that has this presentation of zero when a part has been rotated. In version 1.4, the problem has been fixed. I did point out the problem from version 1.3 in the message: (URL) suggest all upgrade to version 1.4, (...) (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) <Snipped Regex stuff> (...) Those numbers weren't generated by Turbo Pascal (LEdit). They were generated by MLCad, the recent Windows LDraw program. This is one of the reasons I haven't used it very extensively. :) Jeff (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: DAT file cleanup tools? or: Zero by any other name
 
They do hurt things. When viewing dat's in ldlite via the web interface parts with exponents do not render. They do render when you load them from a local file however. I think MLcad is generating them. KL (...) -3.33067e-015 1.10441e-029 32014.DAT (...) (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  DAT file cleanup tools? or: Zero by any other name
 
Do any of the command-line DAT tools do cleanups on floating-point numbers? I've noticed lot of lines lately with very-near-zero floating-point numbers, like these lines, for example... (...) ...which certainly don't hurt anything, but they could (...) (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  DAT line parsing (was: Re: Datsville: crane2 (exponents?))
 
(...) My bad. 'Twas a bug in the code in the ldraw.cgi script on the server which recognized DAT content. It wasn't expecting 'e' exponents in numbers. The old regex (just the non-type-0 portion): /^ \s* [1-5] (?: \s+ [0-9]+ ) (?: \s+ \-? [0-9]* \.? (...) (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.admin.general)

  minifig ax
 
I redownloaded all of the Ldraw files from Ldraw.org last week and installed them, but I can't find the minifig ax(hatchet), and I know that I had it before. Has this part been made or not. If so why don't I have it now?? Thanks Ryan (25 years ago, 13-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Datsville

  Re: POV render times etc.
 
Yes, I agree too, but my dad doesn't want my stuff on the newer family computer(I do have Lego cad stuff on though so I don't have to copy to disk and transfer to my computer stuff I get from LUGNET). That should change this weekend though as we are (...) (25 years ago, 9-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
