  Re: Part search
 
(...) By "partial description" I was thinking more on the lines of just bringing up any and all "2x2" parts. Anyways, I'm not sure being able to sort by full description is all that helpful. You've got "_Animal" vs "Animal", "_TECHNIC" vs "TECHNIC", (...) (20 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: Part search
 
(...) There isn't, but there's a way to work around it. If you drag any random part into the display panes, you can right-click on it and select Modify. This will bring up a list of parts in alphabetical order (not numerical order, so 410 will come (...) (20 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Collaborating FLL builds using mpd's
 
(...) First, all your model, including all sub-models, as well as unofficial parts *must* be in the MPD file. Some MPD generators put the full paht name of the file in the MPD. This is unfortunate, because when you try to unpack it stuff can end up (...) (20 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Part search
 
Hi all. Is there a part search box anywhere in MLCad? It would be useful to search on part of the description as well as the number without creating a custom part tree group. Thanks (20 years ago, 22-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I think that sounds like a great idea, the hidden ones will be a lot easier to spot when scrolling if grey (and finding the RIGHT piece to unhide). -NB (20 years ago, 30-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Suggestion: New column for hidden
 
Hi Michael, It is occasionally useful to be able to see the description of a part when it is hidden. I would like to suggest a new column, maybe to the left of "type", that has an icon depicting whether or not the line is hidden. Maybe a little eye (...)

I hope you'll consider changing these back to the way they behaved previously. I was working with a file that had a (...) (20 years ago, 25-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)
