Hello everybody,
I'm working with LDCad and LPub3D since about 3 months and I like both apps very much. In my opinion they are still the best apps for construction and for making building instructions.
Regarding LPub3D I have one question concerning the system editor. Although I have set the system editor in the "Open With Setup" menu to notepad++ LPub3D always uses the internal editor, when opening those parameter files and so on.
Did anyone of you guys experience the same issue?
Thanks in advance for your support an greetings from Bremen, Germany

Since I have a need to set deadlines for myself, the live date for the new PT will be February 1st. If that is missed, I'll resume normal PT ops (including the 2023-01 release) until March and try again.

Please vote on replacing the second paragraph of the overlaps section of the "LDraw.org Official Parts Library Specifications" document with the following:
Quote:All or part of a conditional line (line type 5) may not overlap all or part of any other conditional line (line type 5), with the exception of complementary conditional lines for curved primitives. Complementary conditional lines are placed at the end of curved primitives where those curved primitives may join with either a continuation of the curve, or with other geometry. In this case, the control points that are off of the edge of the curved primitive are placed so they are tangent to the curve.
If two such curves are placed next to each other (for example to turn a quarter cylinder into a half cylinder), the conditional lines on the edge of each primitive will overlap exactly, and their control points will complement each other such that at most one will be rendered at any given time, and one of the two will always be rendered when appropriate. When other geometry is placed against such a curved primitive, nothing needs to be done if the geometry is tangent to the curve. If it is sloped further, then a complementary conditional line will be placed on the edge of that geometry, with the control points past the edge of the geometry configured to be tangent to the curve, and the two end points of the conditional placed to exactly overlap the complementary conditional line on the edge of the curved primitive.
Example:
The first and last conditional lines in a cyli primitive have a control point that is tangent to the cylinder. When two such cyli primitives join, the two conditional lines complement each other, like so:
