(...) I don't think so - I ran MLCad 2.12 on similar machine (P90, windows 95 2nd edition) without troubles.. Just try older version and delete the log file time by time. Robert (21 years ago, 21-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: Help?-Odd problem

  Help?-Odd problem
 
I downloaded James Mathis's wwym .mpd file. All of the sub models work fine. On the assembled and instruction files the model comes out the size of a pin head (no exageration).

  Re: MLCad 3.0 on windows 95
 
All versions of MLCad should work on windows 95. However the versions before 3.00 had a logging bug filling up the diskspace. I must confess (I hope I spelled that right) that I didn't test this version (3.00) with 95 but it worked with 98 and ME. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi all, Is it possible to run MLCad 3.00 on Windows 95? I got the program running, but the general setup screens do not work! Tabs Rendering and Document make it crash. Jaco (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: MLCad blacked out views problem
 
I'm beginning to wonder if Direct X 9 is the problem.

  Re: Possible Bug?
 
Joe, the hidden attribute is never saved. So when you save such a hidden group, only the group itself is saved, not the hidden attribute. When you reload the model now, you will see the group again.
