I also fixed these.
First 2 I just had to fix placement, 3rd one I created a “transformation” and
“brick ldraw” lines, the 4th I only had to add the “transformation” line, you
all ready had the “brick ldraw” line. But 3069b and 3068b I could not get to
work until I removed them from the XML file as seen below. Once removed I only
got an error when loading MLCAD about “newer part update”, parts were in correct
location and I was able to resave and import into LDD.
Fixed
<Transformation ldraw="2357.dat" tx="0" ty="-0.96" tz="0"
ax="0" ay="1" az="0" angle="1.570796" />
<Transformation ldraw="2420.dat" tx=".800" ty="-0.32" tz="0"
ax="0" ay="1" az="0" angle="3.141593" />
New
<Transformation ldraw="2456.dat" tx="-2" ty="-0.96" tz="+0.400"
ax="1" ay="0" az="0" angle="0" />
<Brick ldraw="2456.dat" lego="44237" />
I also added this line but not the <Brick ldraw…… it now shows up. It would not
show up at all before,
<Transformation ldraw="2362b.dat" tx="0.400" ty="-2.88" tz="0"
ax="0" ay="1" az="0" angle="3.141593" />
Removed from XML, you get a “parts update” when you open MLCAD but they are seen
in both directions.
<Brick ldraw="3068B.dat" lego="3068" />
<Brick ldraw="3068A.dat" lego="3068" />
<Brick ldraw="3069B.dat" lego="3069" />
<Brick ldraw="3069A.dat" lego="3069" />
Could not remomeber if I changed or added these but with the above lines removed
and these line in place it worked
<Transformation ldraw="3068.dat" tx="-0.400" ty="-0.32" tz="+0.400"
ax="1" ay="0" az="0" angle="0" />
<Transformation ldraw="3068b.dat" tx="-0.400" ty="-0.32" tz="+0.400"
ax="1" ay="0" az="0" angle="0" />
<Transformation ldraw="3069b.dat" tx="-0.400" ty="-0.32" tz="0"
ax="1" ay="0" az="0" angle="0" />
<Transformation ldraw="3069.dat" tx="-0.400" ty="-0.32" tz="0"
ax="1" ay="0" az="0" angle="0" />
