An updated version of the LDraw All-In-One-Installer, in short AIOI, containing the LDraw Parts Library update 2022-05 with 559 new files (including 393 new parts and 33 new primitives) has been released.

The AIOI supports Windows XP (Home and Pro), Windows Vista or higher (all versions). There are two installer files available: Use the 64 Bit AIOI to install all the main 64 Bit programs, while the older 32 Bit programs are offered in a separated .exe file. Please note that only the 64 Bit version contains the LDraw Parts Library. If you want to use the 32 Bit programs it is mandatory that the library has been installed previously. The Installer will NOT run on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT Ver 4, 2000, or XP below SP2.

It contains the following changes:

* Update to Parts Library 2022-05
* Update to MLCad.ini 2022-05
* Update to Offline Parts Catalog 2022-05

You can download the AIOI from:

Hi, I'm brand new here so forgive me if i'm doing this slightly improperly.  https://www.ldraw.org/parts/official-par...rtid=87685 - The dat file for this part looks incorrect.  Clicking it from the search results gives a very small (1kb) file, and clicking into the details page for it doesn't seem to get me anywhere.  In fact it looks like it links to 87686, which is the mirror-image part.

What I'm really looking for is a complete wheel with sprue, like this one - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...2w#T=I&C=1 But, just the two side wings are all I need.  The file for 87686 looks great, but 87685 is just 1kb and doesn't seem to contain any instructions.  

If anyone with experience here could take a look, and/or quickly fix it, I'd be grateful!

Hi all,

I want to add swimming cap in studio 2.0. I can find this part number (#99241) 

C:\Program Files\Studio 2.0\ldraw\UnOfficial\parts

However, it cannot be find in the studio (Main Parts).

Anyone can teach me how to access the unofficial parts.

Thanks

Considering following two reasons, I'd like to suggest reassigning pattern number pf* for Friends and Disney Princess, in addition to current "Fabuland and Scala".
1) Friends (2012-) and Disney Princess (2014-) are some of long-lived themes currently in catalogue but there are no pattern number range is assigned.
2) Fabuland and Scala were discontinued quite some time ago and almost all patterned parts have been authored, so it is likely that pattern number pf* remains empty for modern parts (87079 etc.)

The following is the final draft of the CAReadme.txt for the CC BY 4.0 conversion:
https://www.ldraw.org/draft-documents/ca...draft.html

This is being provided for comment and discussion prior to final implementation.

Assuming there are no show stoppers, I am targeting the 2023-01 (Mid January 2023) release for implementation. That release will have a complete re-release of the library will the 0 !LICENSE lines changed as appropriate.

For those who are curious, we're currently at about 64% of all parts and part edits that are 4.0 authorized. How that shakes out to % of parts that will be entirely 4.0 remains be determined. However, the library will never be completely 4.0 since at least 1 very prolific author has passed away and efforts to contact his estate have come to a dead end. Given the age of the library, I doubt this is the only case.

I have noticed that in some cases parts might fall apart when primitives being substituted in those with high-resolution versions. For preventing that from happening, I suggest including a meta command "NOSUBSTITUTE". What I intend, is that when put it before primitive of standard resolution, it would force that primitive to always be rendered as the standard resolution one, no matter the settings, similar to how 8\ and 48\ primitives behave, ensuring that part would appear normal no matter the settings. 

This command would be useful because it works with sphere primitices in a fine way, unlike ndis, which would only close mesh gaps, not make shape flow properly

Hi,

this release will add five small improvements and fixes one bug regarding the "Save As..." button.

If complimentary conds are something we're going to hold vote then they need to be documented somewhere other than having to search the forums. My understanding was that they are nice to have but not required. Either way we need better documentation and I'm not the best person to write it.
