LDAO's editor has a LDL2DAT function (on the tools menu). To translate, edit your dat file, highlight the lines you want to translate (in this case, the entire file), and pick LDL2DAT from the menu. Steve (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I've found the bug already - it's realy a small thing. But since I didn't find many people using this commands I didn't have enough files available for testing. That's wy it wasn't tested so good. There will be a small update the next days. Regards, (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Apparently this also works in ldglite as long as you use the ldlite parser. I just tried it and mlcad seemed happy with the resulting file. So you can remove the metacommands on non-windows systems if you wish. Of course LDAO and mlcad only (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

well after posting this, I got to looking and found that, there wasn't a .dll file from the .zip,or in the old files I had! I ran a search and found out that windows wasn't showing them (I hate the file hiding feature). I moved the newest one to the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

LDLite ver 2.2 and above has a working -R option to regenerate the file in standard LDRAW syntax. "ldlite -Rfoo.dat m_faust.dat" would do the conversion. There are other programs. I think LDAO has an inliner option to do this maybe? -gyug (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi Michael, Pretty cool. I set this up on my computer and it looks pretty good. One issue: It doesn't seem to stop running when the mouse is moved, you need to hit the keyboard to get the screensaver to turn off? Also, in the way of future (...)

Hey, that's cool! My brother, not a Lego User, gave me the great idea that you can build a model using steps and (probably) ghosting to make a Lego movie appear on the screen. I gotta try that... Nice job, Michael, --Ryan (23 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Completely different. The rotate feature generates a model out of bricks by rotating an outline. For example, give it a semicircle, and it will generate plans for a sphere made out of bricks. I'm downloading the screen saver now, and I expect that (...) (23 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
