  Re: Another idea
 
(...) Cool, I love keyboard interfaces. Keep in mind that we already have a something of standard keyboard convention in place. The LEdit key commands. They may not be the best, but they're short and they're built into several of the CAD programs (...) (23 years ago, 2-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) (wow, dan, i'm actually going to agree with you on something like this :) ) yes, don't limit them - i'm still mad that diablo 2 doesn't allow more than a few hot keys. (23 years ago, 2-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Another idea
 
(...) ooohhh... that I like :) (...) why just 26 commands? if you just allow two meta keys (say, alt and ctrl), you get 26*2^2=104 shortcuts... and if you allow shift as well, 208! not saying anyone could remember them all, but why limit the (...) (23 years ago, 2-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Another idea
 
For the CAD system I'm developing, I'm planning to have multiple ways of issuing commands: Drop-down and pop-up menus Speedbuttons Keyboard shortcuts (configurable to user preferences) and... Command line interface (like in AutoCAD) In AutoCAD I (...) (23 years ago, 2-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  An idea
 
Wouldn't it be neat if, when you load a model in a CAD program, if a piece in the model is missing, it could automatically download the missing part from ldraw.org for you? Or periodically poll ldraw.org to see if DAT file updates are available, and (...) (23 years ago, 2-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Author key in ldraw.ini\[LDraw]
 
I have added Author key in the [LDraw] section of ldraw.ini, just because I was tired of filling it in every time I run LDA2001. The value of the ident will be suggested as a default author next time you start an application reading it. Anyone who (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Is this part 4459 or part 3673 ?
 
If the pin is black it is probably 4459 "Technic Pin with Friction". #3673 "Technic Pin" is grey. (...) -- Calvin Walton (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Is this part 4459 or part 3673 ?
 
I believe both parts are the same, cad wise... physically, however, the "pin with friction" has small ridges that create the 'friction'. I believe there's 8 small ones on each pin side... 16 total. You're correct, the "pin with friction" has slots, (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
