  Re: November LDraw MOTM competition
 
(...) :-) Pretty dramatic, I must say. I'm still alive and kicking. I see you've been busy - congrats on your CLSotW. I voted for you. Great site - very slick, I loved it.

  Yet another L3PAO update
 
Version 1.2.5 is up. I added a (much-requested) command line textbox that shows the output before it is sent to L3P. This allows the user to see exactly what every switch and checkbox does as s/he changes settings. As always, here's the place: (URL) (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: DATSort, a utility for sorting .DAT files
 
Just remember, they're not "bugs," they're (pick one): "features," "negative enhancements," "experimental features designed to maximize your computing experience," or, my favorite, "debugging aids never intended for release." James Wilson (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Post submission info ? What's the maximum part description length ?
 
Hello all, I've completely forgotten what the maximum length of the part description was (including "0 " at the beginning of the line) Could someone please remind me ?

  Re: Patterned Parts Numbering
 
(...) True, but since these are merely parts files and as such will reside in the LDRAW\PARTS directory, I think the *type* of file will be obvious. I agree this certainly feels like a "bad thing" at first, but it does give you a lot more characters (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Patterned Parts Numbering
 
(...) 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)
 
  Problem with the description of part 30382.
 
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)
 
  Re: Patterned Parts Numbering
 
(...) 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)
