Hi folks, I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2009-02. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's minifigure generator.

(...) Ran into more trouble today when I tried to use LSynth from MLCad. LSynth complained it couldn't find the necessary LS** part no matter what type of synthesizing I tried. When I copied all the LS** files that are in the unofficial\LSynth (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) The theory behind the explanation is sound, but I don't see how is applies in this case. No files are actually missing: I can find all the files MLCad complains about in my LDraw\Unofficial\P\48 folder, and when I dump all the unofficial files (...)

(...) Willy's explanation is correct. This part in the unofficial library references primitives that don't exist - anywhere (except maybe on the author's own system). So MLcad is unable to fully render it, even with a full copy of the unofficial (...) (15 years ago, 3-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) It's independent of a file. I start with an empty file and click on the Technic section of the parts tree and get a load of warnings about 48\peghole.dat and a number of other files that are missing. At the same time there is a big red X in (...) (15 years ago, 2-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, if the full unofficial file were somehow incomplete , but if I dump all the unofficial files into the official folder MLCad never complains. Jetro (15 years ago, 1-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) It is quite normal that MLCad complaints. As explained here: (URL) package with the unofficial files is updated every 3 minutes and includes also held files. You'll therefore also get parts like this: (URL) is an extraordinary part but has (...) (15 years ago, 1-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I don't know what you're doing wrong, but MLCAD does NOT expect the unofficial parts to in parts.lst. It scans those folders at startup for parts. --Travis (15 years ago, 30-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I'm not sure if I'm missing something... I have a LDraw\Unofficial folder with all the unofficial parts and MLCad.ini with the lines corresponding to the location of those unofficial parts uncommented. I open MLCad, scan for new parts and write a (...) (15 years ago, 30-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Of course. I'm at work right now, but I'll try to remember to send you a copy when I get home. Nothing fancy, the only trick was getting the spacing and the "stiffness" right. Did you already grab the MPD file from my Brickshelf page? Besides (...) (15 years ago, 17-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) Hi Eric, Great work! Could you please provide the LSynth.mpd part to be included with the other synthesis? May I further take portions of your v-8.mpd file and modify it for the example page? Credit will be given. w. (15 years ago, 17-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
