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?

If regenerating doesn't do it for you, because you just can't remember that,
for example, garage door slats are filed under Roller and not garage and not
door and not panel and not slat.... (yes, I was trying to find these today,
no comment on why I would want to be drawing garage doors in MLCAD :-) )

if you just can't remember, get and install LDAO. It has a different view of
the parts/categories and may be of some help in spurring your thinking. Once
you generate the VEC you can just go browsing under various categories to
see if you find what you want.

I only need LDAO VEC rarely but when I need it I really need it.

Is LDAO stable? The last time I installed it, I had to reinstall my machine... :-( (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I'd also recommend people go here: (URL) download Patrick's awesome Illustrated Parts Catalogue. Makes it much easier to find those pesky parts no one can name! :] KDJ ___...___ LUGNETer #203, Windsor, Ontario, Canada (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
