All,

I am starting to actually _create_ MLCAD based models and I am having
trouble locating some of the basic parts. 1x1 brick, 1x2 non-printed brick,
45 Slope 2x2 non-printed and 1x2 tile with one center stud are just a few I
am having trouble locating. I have opened .dat files recently that I know
contain those parts, I just can't seem to locate them within the MLCAD
interface.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!
Jake

(...) As I understand it, 1 x 1 brick is "3005.dat", but due to a bad alphanumeric order, ALL of the lettered and numbered 1 x 1 bricks (3005-*.dat) come before "3005.dat". As for the 1 x 2 brick, the normal (unpainted) one is "3004.dat". The one (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) One more part-finding suggestion: if you're online, use Partsref or Peeron.com. (URL) gives you a list of all the Partsref categories, and a search function.
