Wouldn't it be great if there were a lego cad program like MLCad for the pocketPC? Take your models with you, work on them whenever you have some idle time. Show off your work whenever you get the chance. Even a just viewer like LDLite would be (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) For a quick custom, you can use BMP2DAT32 (if I remember the name right). It comes out with mediocre quality (usually), but it's easier than redrawing your graphic in LDraw vector commands. Steve (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Is there a faq somewhere that outlines a way (easy, I hope) to stick a graphic image onto a part? Like for a custom mini-fig? I thought I had seen one once, but now I can't find it... Thanks, James Wilson Dallas, TX (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hmmm, what technique did you use to do the scaling? 0 SCALE meta-commands, or scale and then inline. I used the inliner approach. Here's how it goes in ldglite using the familiar LEDIT style commands (with the scale and inliner extensions). (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, you could try this. First scale your primitives by 0.64. Then scale the parts by 0.64. Then fix the primitives inside the parts by rescaling the type 1 lines that pull in the primitives by 1.5625. I just tried this with ldglite on (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Make a one line file for each of them that scales by 0.64, and then use the inliner to pass the scale through to the part. eg. Make this: 1 16 0 0 0 0.64 0 0 0 0.64 0 0 0 0.64 knexpart.ldr Then run an inliner and save the results. (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
