|
I happy to announce that MLCad V2.12 is out now.

Try going to Settings->General->Change and look at the shading optimizations. If it is set to maximum, change it. I've had the same problem before. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I knew I should not have touched that button but alas I did. I clicked on the default button (settings->general) and now whenever I want to make a part transparent it won't! MLCad said that the color is a custom color but shows BLACK on the view (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

|

Whenever I use the Rotation Matrix, it dosn't do anything. Is there a fix for this? I need a finely tuned rotation value. John Henry Kruer (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I would like to modify the standard colors as displayed in MLCAD. This way, I could make the black a little lighter and modify the line colors for certain colors. The purpose is to make instructions a little easier to tell where one part ends and (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

That is a good idea! Have you emailed the author of MLCAD (look under the help about tab in mlcad) and suggested this change. That is the best way to get a change to MLCAD in a future relase of the program. -Ahui (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Michael, (I just noticed you use Michael, not Mike. Sorry) I was wondering what your thoughts on sharing the code of MLCad were. I was wondering about the feasability of porting it to Mac. Any thoughts? Thanks, Gino A... (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Mike, I love MLCad. Ok, that's out of the way. I'd like to request a change to how the arrow keys work in MLCad. I'd like a configuration option that causes the up-down and left-right arrows to respond relative to the currently selected frame. With (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
