  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
Bill, My initial thought is.... what are the chances that someone will find a commercial use for this program? But in thinking about it more, I have no idea how far other contributing authors will take this program, so out of respect for their (...)

  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
(...) GPL is the best in terms or preserving the author's rights. Public Domain is a bad idea - it means you surrender any rights to the software, and people can then basically use it to build their own commercial programs and wouldn't owe you (...)

  Re: Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions
 
Hi Will, As I was writing the original post, I realized that I had a question for myself, does the X4 go on the image itself, or does it go in the web pages generated by LPub. If I make it go into the web pages, then I think it leaves more (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

  Re: Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions
 
While it is a great idea to supress the multiple rendering of the same steps, I'm not sure there is really any added value to displaying the "x4" on the last step. I find that I always take a pass through the final rendered instruction images, in my (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
 
  Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions
 
Hi, I've decided to tackle an issue that has been on my mind for a while. LPub's handling of building instructions, where sub-model user-defined parts are used multiple times in the overall design. It all started when I was editing a DSDK model (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
Tim and Michael, I'd love to see this feature as well, although it is easy to say from the outside. We have no idea how MLCAD is orgranized, so this may be pretty hard to do, especially getting nice preview images of synthesized parts. Kevin (...)

  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
(...) Not really. I tend to waver somewhere between the GPL and Public Domain, depending on how long it's been since I've had trouble with piece of closed software. Of the few licences here (URL) I've read, the zlib license is the shortest, and I do (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
Hi Ahui, You do not need to use an editor to add these coments. Lsynth compensates for MLCAD's WRITE statements, by ignoring the WRITE keywoard. Two things to examine: 1. LSynth is case sensitive, so SYNTH is not the same as synth. 2. If you are (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
Has anyone besides Kevin been able to get LSynth to work? I can get it to run the examples.mpd file but when ever I get my own file it does nothing? I have added the comments in a text editor (since MLCAD adds the WRITE statements to commets) and (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

Then anyone can write MLCAD plugins without Michael having to do all of the work to integrate the 3rd party generators. It should free up some time (...)

  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
Hi Dave, I'll have to look when I'm home to figure out what to do here. I think it looks in C:\LDRAW, and/or looks for an LDRAW environment variable to be set. I think it depends on the same environment variable L3P depends on, but I'm not sure. (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
(...) A simple fix to reduce the file size some what is to limit the amount of digits in the synthisized part. For example, I noticed that lsynth writes 10.000000 instead of just 10. Also I think 3 or 4 decimal places is accurate enough (although (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
