(...) Ok I finally got this to work. Now I just need to figure out why the renders are taking so long and find out how to make the lines look better. I think I'm headed in the right direction. You rock, thanks for the help! (19 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| | Workarounds for two crash bugs in Mac LDView 3.2 Beta 1
|
|
So far, two bugs have been found in the Mac LDView 3.2 Beta 1 release that cause it to crash, and then subsequently crash every time it is launched. I'm posting a workaround for each of these problems here in the hopes that it will reduce people's (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

Hi, folks. After reading some of the recent posts discussing support for unofficial parts and part directories, I decided to release this script I wrote to help manage the unofficial parts I use. I keep my unofficial parts in a parallel part library (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, lugnet.cad.dev)

I'm trying to do the old find_edges renders with the current version of MacMegaPov and they aren't working. Reading through here, it sounds like the 0.7 version of the program works fine for this. I've googled up and down but can't find 0.7 (...) (19 years ago, 10-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) I'm not 100% sure, but it appears that preference sets are setting off the crash.
