  Re: A solution to the part numbering problem? (Was: vote 9902)
 
Wow...How nice. I really like this idea. I have been always behind the idea of separating those two universe, but couldn't realise that they could be both "separate" and "together" at the same time. Nice and elegant solution in my side. What's you (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: vote 9902
 
Terrel, I'm sorry that I forgotten to mention in my last message, but if has any use for anyone (from misunderstanding point of view) I never intended to blame anyone, especially you. I believe you have the one having one of the greatest portions (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: New Touch Sensor
 
(...) IMHO this numbering method makes no sense at all !! First, the 3 parts are not separable and makes no sense using them separated. LEGO decided to number them like if it was a _single_ part and have put the 32025 number in the _main_ part which (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  A solution to the part numbering problem? (Was: vote 9902)
 
(...) What about adding a "reference" catalog to the LDraw tree? It should be used for LDraw files with _exact_ part-number relations. The name could be "LDraw\LEGO", "LDraw\Official", or "LDraw\Reference" (the last is too long). Parts like the six (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: vote 9902
 
(...) Right now there is nothing "wrong" with the part, per se. The part number (71427) refers to a specific color for that composite item. The part is not actually any color - it is in #16. Right now, you could use that part as-is. The number is a (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: vote 9902
 
I am truly sorry that we are going through this problem. But LDraw is a dual purpose program. The original purpose, and one that is still valid, useful, and needed, is that of a parts reference. A parts reference that depends on using TLG part (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: vote 9902
 
So, nothing could be more clear than this example. As I said before, Continuing to follow TLG naming scheme causes problems. Always. Is it a nice thing to put some already done and meet the quality requirements parts on hold, just because they are (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: vote 9902
 
o.k. but what is wrong with the 9v motor? it is the correct color and the correct number? is there something wrong with the piece? (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: problem with JJ Memorial
 
(...) We have long thought that could happen. But it may be just a temporary problem, as that has happened before. My advice, wait a bit and see if the problem clears up. If you have a pressing need for the original archives, ask me and I can email (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: vote 9902
 
(...) Yes, that is basically why. We are trying to work out a compromise between the use of LDraw as a modelling tool and as a parts reference. Some number codes refer to specific-colored composite pieces. So using those numbers for generic #16 (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

i just discovered that the links to james site (ldraw.exe etc) from the JJM are now broken. it appears that james site has been deleted (the ftp part that is, the http part is still there). someone may want to fix this. (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

just got the vote! great.

  New Touch Sensor
 
I was looking at the new parts for LDraw and was pleased to see that the '879 Touch Sensor' was not called 'MindStorms Touch Sensor' as it might have been, since the '8482 CyberMaster' also includes tree of these. For those who don't know, the (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
