 | | Latest BFC Spec?
|
|
I'd like to (finally) add BFC support to LDView, so I performed a search here on lugnet.cad.dev to try and track down the BFC spec. Unfortunately, all the links I found were no longer valid. (Seeing as how the articles were 2 to 3 years old, that's (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Part Measurements and Authoring
|
|
A question for all part authors How do you figure out the measurements for your parts? I'm not talking about the obvious measurements such as stud width but the more intricate details on some of the more complex parts. Do you use a micrometer, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I have used the LEdit emulation mode in Ldglite a lot recently, and I find it very useful. However, there is one graphical feature that I miss from the orginal LEdit, namely the crosshair. The crosshair is useful when rotating parts, to see where (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
