  Working on new Parts Tracker
 
Hi, y'all! I wanted to let you know I'm working on a new Parts Tracker. So far, "working" consists of doing some basic analysis around required functionality and UI. And asking Dan Boger if he could/would lend a hand with design and implementation. (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: re-name "patterned" parts?...
 
(...) You realize you answered your own question? The spacing was inherited from James Jessiman, but it works better to have it there. If some programs/people don't want the spaces, it's easy enough to delete them. It would be more challenging to (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: re-name "patterned" parts?...
 
(...) This would do what you want, unless there was another, similar part, whose name is the same as the master part, except the final dimension included a fractional part, such as "... 2 & 1/3". Not that this is something that commonly collides (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldraw.organization (was: License revision 1)
 
(...) I agree with that because currently ldraw.org is working as l-cad.org, but l-cad.org will have to focus on other stuff as well. (...) I think it would be better to have the FAQ split, there should be a smaller FAQ with only questions that (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: What Happened to my Primitives?
 
(...) Sorry, bub. You'll have to reinstall ldraw.exe and complete.exe. See (URL) for links. Steve (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldraw.organization
 
I got my domain, www.kylekeppler.com, from www.namezero.com for free, yes FREE. They do put a huge ole banner on it and you have to have a site host so using it as your main website isn't that great of an idea. You do get unlimited email addresses (...)

  Re: Ldraw.organization
 
(...) See (URL). Stick with www.ldraw.org for all our LCAD needs. "LDraw" should be the primary term for things LEGO CAD-ish, not just a reference to an obsolete program. Steve (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: re-name "patterned" parts?...
 
Yup, that'd be why. ;-) Actually, those one-digit numbers are in reality *two*-digit numbers, prefaced with a zero, but since the zero in question is invisible, you don't see it. ;-) Franklin (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: re-name "patterned" parts?...
 
(...) My impression has been that the extra space preserves alphabetical listing by description, so that Brick 2 x 4 comes before Brick 2 x 10. Another gadfly, Dave! (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldraw.organization
 
(...) I registered leocad.org at www.domainmonger.com for $17/year. A guy from work registered a domain for $3/year but they add an annoying frame with ads, I don't think it's worth it but if you want I can get the address for you. Leonardo (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  New LeoCAD version
 
Hi, After a long time I decided to pack a new version for you, sorry for the long delay. Several fixes and a few new features, here's the list of changes: · Fixed rotation bug. · Fixed a bug when you insert a piece after a rotated piece wouldn't (...)

  Re: re-name "patterned" parts?...
 
(...) I'm guessing it's so they'll sort in human readable format... ie: brick 1 x 1 brick 1 x 2 brick 2 x 10 brick 2 x 12 would be instead (in computer numeralical order (as i like to call it when i complain to dan)) brick 1 x 1 brick 1 x 10 brick 1 (...)

  Re: re-name "patterned" parts?...
 
(...) Because of parts like "baseplate 16 x 16" which need two character spaces? Without the padding you'd get ragged listings in monospace font reports. Just a guess, I am just a gadfly here. ++Lar (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: re-name "patterned" parts?...
 
(...) in addition.. something that I've been curious about.. why are the names (descriptions) in this format?: [type] <space> # <space> x <space> <space> # why the second space after the times sign? I've removed it from some of my updated parts, (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  re-name "patterned" parts?...
 
People, I've noticed a minor problem with the current way of naming/titling "petterned" parts. Here's a brief excerpt from PARTS.LST (sorted by Description): 3070.DAT Tile 1 x 1 2555.DAT Tile 1 x 1 with Clip 3070DISP.DAT Tile 1 x 1 with Computer (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  What Happened to my Primitives?
 
Due to my unrivaled computer savvy, I have managed to delete a few primitives from my p directory. Is there an easy way to download all the primitives but nothing else? I'd download just the ones I need, but I'm not sure which ones I've lost, (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: someone mention my name?... (was "Re: Rubber Black")
 
(...) Yeah, you. I included you in because you'd been making comments about Paul's new parts, so you were 'in the vicinity'. BTW, every time I type your name, I have to restrain myself from calling you Frank. That's something I wouldn't have even (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
