(...) I'd rather not encode file-nameish data into the file-extension. That feels like a bad thing to do -- extensions indicate the *type* of file, not the specific file. I realize that "DAT" is not the greatest extension in the world, as it's far (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

First sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Anyway I think the description for this part is wrong. (URL) currently says: "Wedge 2 x 12 Triple" I believe it should be: "Wedge 2 x 16 Triple" Please let me know if I should have posted this (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes. As long as you specify the extension, LDraw doesn't care what it is. LEdit might be a different story, I don't know. (...) Don't use MAKELIST, it can't handle more than 1000 parts. Use MKLIST instead. And MKLIST indexes every file in the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hey gang, For a while now I've wanted a way to sort the entries in a .DAT file according to X-Y-Z coordinates, that way after I build a file in MLCad I can sort the elements so they're in an order much like original LEGO instructions (bottom to top, (...)

(...) While not directly related, I've found that, while using subparts from the parts\s directory, the names will be truncated if they're more than 8 characters long and therefore won't render in LEdit or LDraw. For instance, a line like: 1 16 0 0 (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
