Hi all, OK, listen up. This message is for a small percentage of people out there. Voting more than once for a model does not work. All IP addresses are logged and it is easy to spot duplicates. Duplicates are deducted from the score. Easy to spot, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Jeez Jeff, where have you been for the last month? Haven't you at least heard about the Debacle (or should I say Travesty? Farce?) in Florida? The year 2000 may well be known to future generations as the year of the chad. Sad, isn't it? -- (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Sorry, I explained myself poorly, I divide the curve in segments with only 2 points each. Bezier and Hermite curves are very similar, but I don't use Bezier curves because the control points are not very user-friendly, I'd rather have tangents (...)

Anyone else have this problem? I can't type in negative numbers into the center-offset boxes (X and Y offset) in LDLite (2.0b, I think -- the latest one on Paul Gyugyi's web site). It also doesn't work in 1.6. I tried on the upper row of keys on the (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I can't wait to get your optimization! The latest version of MLCAD is much faster than the previous one (since it tries not to redraw the entire model), but this sounds fantastic! Michael Lachmann <m.lachmann@xpoint.at> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
