| Hi Dave, Right now the installer is too simple. It needs to know where the LDraw directory is, so it can add some parts to your parts directory. It does a simple search for this: LDRAW\MKLIST.EXE on your hard disks. It cannot find it. I'd guess one (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

| Bill, My initial thought is.... what are the chances that someone will find a commercial use for this program? But in thinking about it more, I have no idea how far other contributing authors will take this program, so out of respect for their (...)

| | | | | Sand Green and POV
|
| All, I have built a model in MLCad in Sand Green. Using LPub, I rendered out the main image and rather than Sand Green, the color came out light gray. How can I make sure that it renders in Sand Green? Thanks! Jake --- Jake McKee LEGO Enthusiast (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

If I make it go into the web pages, then I think it leaves more (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

| While it is a great idea to supress the multiple rendering of the same steps, I'm not sure there is really any added value to displaying the "x4" on the last step. I find that I always take a pass through the final rendered instruction images, in my (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
| | | | | Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions

| Hi, I've decided to tackle an issue that has been on my mind for a while. LPub's handling of building instructions, where sub-model user-defined parts are used multiple times in the overall design. It all started when I was editing a DSDK model (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

We have no idea how MLCAD is orgranized, so this may be pretty hard to do, especially getting nice preview images of synthesized parts. Kevin (...)

| Hi Ahui, You do not need to use an editor to add these coments. Lsynth compensates for MLCAD's WRITE statements, by ignoring the WRITE keywoard. Two things to examine: 1. LSynth is case sensitive, so SYNTH is not the same as synth. 2. If you are (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
