   I have always had problems with the -lgeo (Use LGEO Library). At first I put it down to incorrect installation but I recently re-installed using the all-inone installer. My installation is to D:Program Files but other than that is pretty much standard. I am using XP. When I use the switch I get a Command Prompt screen very briefly and no .pov file. Copying the Generated Command Line from L3PAdd-on into a Command Prompt windows and running it from there I get the error:

Can’t open C:[..]LGEO]L2PELMT.TAB

I can’t work out why it is referencing C:. All the Lego CAD apps including POVRay are on the D: drive. L3PAdd-on knows the location of the LGEO Library (D:Program FilesLdraw\AppsLGEO\).

Anyone got any ideas?

Try the following.

1) Open L3PAO 2) On the file menu select “TOOLS -> LOCATE LGEO LIBRARY”

If L3PAO does not know where the LGEO library is at it will prompt you for the path. In your case choose D:Program FilesLdraw\AppsLGEO\

3) Also make sure that your .POV file that you are created has NO SPACES and is not too long. Try to stay with an 8.3 format, you can rename it later.

Hope this helps, let me know if it does.

No, sorry, its not either of them, L3PAO knows the location correctly. the filename is ccb2.pov (mirroring the .mpd filename) and so it is not too long and has no spaces.
I don’t think its a problem with your auto-installer, I used to get the same problem with individual installations.
Is it possible that there is something hard-coded into either L3PAO (unlikely as the command line string is all it produces and that seems correct with no references to C:) or L3P that references the C: drive when using the LGEO parts library?
