  Re: Who here remembers...
 
(...) I look forward to seeing the pictures. I have never understood ASCII art :) (...) Sounds like a definite improvement! I found that if the battery boxes are switched on the wrong way, there is no harm done, but instead of 18v you get almost 0v (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: 18 V Converter--was Re: Who here remembers...
 
(...) <snip> (...) And, of course, I'd observe that if you build two of these, you can use them both as inputs to a 36v system, etc. Basically, if you have N battery boxes, and 3N+1 wires, you can go as far as you like with this. Until the wires (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: MLCAD/Assemblies?
 
So here's the $0.02 version of how to use multipart files: First, some tips: * Name your sub-models! The first comment line - "Modify" it and call it something descriptive, like "bookcase" or "lift arm" or what have you. This will save you grief (...)

  Re: MLCAD/Assemblies?
 
(...) What you want to do is use multiparts. then when you change one of the subparts, it changes the main model too. It also keeps everything in one file. If you hate tutorials you might want to find a sample .mpd file and just look at it in the (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: MLCAD/Assemblies?
 
(...) Hmm. I tried that, but it won't update. ie, changes reflected in the sub don't reflect in the main assembly. That's bad. Any workaround for this? I found something with Multipart/Import? Tried fiddling with that. I've no clue what I'm doing. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  MLCAD/Assemblies?
 
Is it possible to build subassemblies in MLCAD, and then insert them into an assembly? IE, working on a model of a CNC Pipe Bender. I want the carriage (b/y axes), bed, and bend arm assemblies to be separate, so they're easier to work on. Then I (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
