  Re: MLCad blacked out views problem
 
I do, but I have encountered similar problems in the past. Do you have an ATI or Creative Labs video card? They tend to require fresh drivers after a directX upgrade... (...) Joe Greene UNIX Systems, Network and IT Specialist a.k.a. Guesseppi (...) (21 years ago, 26-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: MLCad blacked out views problem
 
(...) Yes, with no problems. Sounds like you got a problem with Windows that, by sheer coincidence, manifested itself at the same time you installed MLCad. (21 years ago, 25-Sep-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?
 
I was working on a model, grouped a batch together and hid them (so they wouldn't keep getting in my way while I was trying to work on a separate segment of this rather complex model.. and I had to go crash .. so I saved.. I load it back up and (...) (21 years ago, 22-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  RE: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
(...) I know it's in common use, but it has immediately negative feelings that come with it. I have done lots of editing of non-native English speakers for various LEGO books and I can say that awkward translations by the original author to English (...)

  Re: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
(...) Uh, you need to look this word up because a phrase like "jealously guards" is not at all uncommon. jeal·ous - adjective 1. Fearful or wary of being supplanted; apprehensive of losing affection or position. 2. a. Resentful or bitter in rivalry; (...)

Amateurs! ;-) I use those short cuts all the time. I hardly use the mouse :-) Just like good old LEdit. Jaco (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
(...) I can certainly appreciate why you suggested Direct3D, and I personally didn't interpret it to mean that you would be disappointed by an OpenGL renderer. I believe that the performance differences between OpenGL and Direct3D are fairly heavily (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
(...) I'll be the first to admit : never even looked at LDView. Up until now I have done everything in MLCAD, and if I needed a nice image I'd use L3P and do a POVRAY. I'll look into LDView, who knows what I've missed :D (...) I don't even mind if (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
(...) Don't forget that Mac OS uses OpenGL as well. The entire Mac OS X window manager is an OpenGL app, which means that the whole GUI can do transparencies, drop shadows, rotations, etc etc and all be video card accelerated. Apple calls it Quartz (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)
 
  Re: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
(...) I agree that cross-platform is good, and I also think that OpenGL is a more appropriate API to use because of this. However, I think it's only fair to point out that after releasing a Linux native version of LDView, I got exactly one piece of (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)
 
  Re: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
Excuse my Direct3D statment, I guess OpenGL is the way to go because of the linux crowd (plus, thinking a little more....OpenGL is actually faster than Direct3D). But the rendering engine in my view is less important mainly because as I said in my (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
(...) Gotta agree, I'd HATE to see that happen. It's already a pity the new track designer program most likely won't work under Wine (since it uses much of .NET from what I read in the announcement) let's not let this one go please. We can't expect (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  RE: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
(...) I agree in principle with everything Amaury says, but before everyone gets their knickers in a knot (or their shorts bunched up) the word jealous is probably a small error in translation. I'm going to assume Amaury is a native French speaker (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Once again, a relativley major bug...
 
replying to both here : (...) No, this is a bad idea, in that it would lock up the software to MS and make it much more difficult to use under other platforms (read linux+wine) (...) Agreed, I like the way the 3d view controls from autocad works. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
