Hi there,

as written in our core group, I would like to suggest to create primitives for the sticker backsides, which are rectangular and have rounded corners (formed and unformed) So they can be used for different stickers.
For now we the same backside several times with different subfile names.

I made a little Excel sheet. Which is linked 
  Sticker Bottom List.xlsx (Size: 11.26 KB / Downloads: 6) to this post. Please note that sometimes the same sticker backside is mixed up with X and Z coordinates. This needs to be fixed in any case before the release. (Do we have rule, that stickers should be made in a way that Z x X contains a X value which is always equal or greater than Z (as we do for most of our bricks)?

Suggestion for the name:

flat sticker backsides: stickbs[Z]x[X]r[Radius of Corners]
Means: StickerBackSide[Z]by[X]radius[Radius of Corners]

formed sticker backsides: stickbsf[Z]x[X]r[Radius of Corners]p[Matching part without file extension]
Means: StickerBackSideFormed[Z]x[X]Radius[Radius of Corners](Matching)Part[Matching part without file extension]

Any thoughts on this?

I created a circle with' templates --rubber band 'and changed the name to 3024.dat, but the 3024 parts are interspersed

As I am working on some train related stickers, I asked myself the question, is it better to re-use existing stickers or make aliases that correspond to the correct sheet.

Prominent examples would be the train logos, i.e. similare logos on the 164575, 164585, 168265, where 164585 can be complete doen with stickers from 164565.

Modern samples are the Andreas Crossing 2x2 Sticker that appears on multiple sheets.

Should those be added as aliases or shall we skip them? When skipping them, it might be difficult to locate the replacement, So IMHO, I would rather add them...

Opinions?

Pattern descriptions on stickers are often in need of a Left/Right qualifier.
I think we are maybe using it very differently among the part authors.
I find it odd that I often feel I have to correct the descriptions on stickers intended for vehicles.

There is a definition of Up in the sticker specs.
"The sticker should be oriented such that the top of the pattern aligns with the +Z axis."
But how about Left and Right?

Imagine a vehicle with an arrow pattern on the right hand side pointing backwards.

The description should be "Sticker ...  with Arrow Left" but it should be placed on the right hand side of the vehicle.
How do I describe that pattern?   "Sticker ...  with Arrow Left Right"
On the opposite side it would become the opposite, "Sticker ...  with Arrow Right Left"

We have a qualifier (Formed) on formed sticker.
Maybe there needs to be a (Right) qualifier for stickers intended to be on the RHS (right hand side) of a vehicle?
And of course (Left) on the LHS.

I would like to request the following parts if possible:

- 70694
- 40145
- light-up lightsaber Minifigures. This link might help: YouTube deconstruction
- 3262
- 2142
- 77257
- 77258
- 2148
- 73764
- 73763
- 3156
- 2601

Thanks in advance! This is also a list for myself to keep track of new/updated parts. I know the new worm screw is in works already, but when it is on the PT, I will delete if from the list.

I just noticed you can not use (your own) attachments from previous posts in a new one.

I wanted to reuse the LDCad Alpha 2 picture for the Alpha 2a release, but it just prints the

Hello all,

I've solved all the reported Alpha 2 issues and made a new version.

Besides bug fixes I've also added 2 new minor features to the part bin:
- Hiding of zero count items during count down mode is now optional.
- Negative searching using the '!' character, eg: "1x1 !round" to get all 1x1 parts except the round ones.




So be sure to make backups of your work before changing them with this Alpha version.

The new version can be downloaded here:
