Yup! That IS the problem. If you want to use the automatic feature of L3PAO
(in which it render the image after it converts it) you NEED TO keep the old
DOS 8.3 file naimg format. That format is: 8 alpha-numeric characters
followed by a '.' and then 3 alph-numeric characters.
Try renaming your file from
C:\LDRAW\MODELS\Ambulance\Ambulance (wide) NYC.dat
to
C:\LDRAW\MODELS\Ambulance\AmbW_NYC.dat
Note that THIS IS ONLY A REQUIREMENT is you are going to use the auto features.
MLCAD and POV-Ray can handle the new format of 125 characters + 3 for
extension WITH WHITESAPCE if you are using them alone. THIS IS NOT
RECOMMENED for a number of reasons.
