Another question then: What version of MLCad *does* work on Win 95 without a lot of effort? I still have almost all past releases on archive CD's. Thanks!

  MLCad 3.0 on windows 95
 
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. Although I can't say this problem started immediately after I upgraded to Direct X 9 it was definitly around the same time that the blackout problem started. Anyone else have Direct X 9 installed (...) (21 years ago, 25-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  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. When you ungroup the "group" its just split up (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  MLCad blacked out views problem
 
I recently upgraded to version 3 of MLCad and I'm having a problem were all the views have turned black. It appears to be some sort of graphics problem, because the parts preview window is also blacked out, and all the colours in the default pallet (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Possible Bug?
