Is part 71184 Bar 4.5L Straight the right length? All the bars of that shape that I have are about 4LDU under 5L (so about 95 or 96, not 90 LDU long) Could someone please check this and change it if necessary? --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, I just wiped out my system, so my ldraw.ini is a bit bare. I haven't even put in a tool to open an Explorer window on ldraw\. I'll see what I can do in the next day or two. Steve (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Finally! I've refreshed the parts-reference pages at (URL). The display is slightly reformatted. Just cosmetic changes, it's still frames-based :( Partsref is now current as of the 99-05 parts update. Steve (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

It wouldn't be too hard for utility writers to write code to add their tool to LDAO. They just need to add a few settings to c:\windows\ldraw.ini. Let's see here... First, they need to create a new section for their tool: [My LDraw Tool] (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
