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\]L2P_ELMT.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 Files\Ldraw\Apps\LGEO\).

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Tim,

I have everything running on my E drive, so it is possible.  :-)

Here's my thought... There should be an LDRAW.INI file in your Windows
directory.  Make sure you have the "LgeoDirectory" entry set correctly under the
"[LDRAW]" section, like so:

[LDraw]
LgeoDirectory=D:\Program Files\Ldraw\Apps\LGEO

HTH,

Mark

(...) Woohoo, thanks, that worked! (the path was just set to C:\) I wonder why it wasn't set correctly? Tim (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
