 | | Using unofficial parts in LeoCAD

|
I'm wondering if it's possible to import or otherwise utilize some of the unofficial LDraw parts in LeoCAD. I've recently found a few things I would like to use, but I can't find any way or reference to importing parts. Any thoughts? Thanks, Allan (...)

(...) Just tryed it. Typed .dat after the file name and select the .dat save as type. And it worked. I thought i had to just select save as type as .dat. Thanks (23 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

(...) That's weird, I just tested and it works correctly for me. Are you typing the .dat extension? Leonardo (23 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

(...) Strange, I often use that feature, and never had a problem (except with the extension when I forget to replace .lcd with .dat). Do you use it under Windows or Linux ? Philo (23 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

(...) Both lines are equally valid. (...) That's an error in LPub then. (...) Probably because it: 1) is easier to do 2) makes the files easier to read for a human Play well, Jacob (23 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

(...) Just choose "Save as", and in file type drop list, choose "ldraw files (*.dat)" Note that according to your explorer setup (Windows) you may have to suppress the '.lcd' appended to file name. Philo www.philohome.com (23 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

Hi, Been using LeoCAD since 1998 and love it. Here is the question. LeoCAD won't let me save my projects as a .dat file at all? I want to view them in LDView (Works great) and Pov-Ray (having problems with it but that is a different subject). (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

Help! O.K. as far as I can remember, from the work I did in LeoCAD last weekend, the arrow keys move the selected part by 1/2 stud increments, unless the CRTL key is held down. However, as I'm working today, I'm noticing that the arrow keys are (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.leocad)

Hi Leonardo, (...) This is seldom a problem, but I noticed this with rubberbelts generated with my rubberbelt parts ((URL) aligned in LeoCad but were not perfectly placed when exported to Ldraw/Pov. Philo (23 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.leocad)
