 | | Buffer Exchange, Ghost parts and Rotation Steps —Jaco van der Molen
|
| | | Hi all, Does anyone have example DAT and/or MPD files that are using the Buffer Exchange, Ghost parts and Rotation Steps in MLCad? I do not understand these at all, but I know they can be a powerfull tool in making instructions. No offense Michael, (...) (22 years ago, 3-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.inst)

It must be possible to "...display a certain part above the the model first, and in the next step inserted into the model..." like (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.inst)

| | | | | I've read the explanation for buffer exhange and I think I understand. In view mode, as you "step" through your design, MLCad displays the new parts added in each step. Buffers let you take a snapshot (a picture) of the design as it looks given the (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.inst)

| | | | | | | | I have added buffer exgange in my development version. It works except for one problem, the graying of previous steps parts gets messed up. I have to fix this. I also added ghosting and it works fine. I have to clean things up before a release, and (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.inst)

| | | | | | This is a bit old thread, but I wonder if sombody can answer me how this Buffer Exchange command affects the partlist? I just found out how to make subassemblies and then put the subasembly part into the main model by first using Buffer Exchange (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.inst)

| | | | | | Øyvind, I don't think there is a way around this situation in MLCAD. I added PLIST BEGIN IGN meta-command to LPub, to ignore the second occurrence of parts, but I know of no way to do this in MLCAD. Kevin (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.inst)

| | | | Hi, The first you should know is that models with instructions steps that use CLEAR, BUFFER EXCHANGE and GHOST commands generally look really weird when viewed in "Place" mode.

| | | | | (...) Hi Miguel, This is not quite true. Ghosting in submodels works the same whether you are using MPD, or the old fashioned mechanism of LDraw files using other LDraw files as parts. I just studied this behavior in MLCAD and added GHOST support to (...) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.inst)

They do seem like very powerful commands, if you want to do instructions straight from MLCAD, and hopefully with the LPub support it will make rendering instructions with (...)
