Cannot Find my LDraw Library... |

Prepare to hear something ridiculous...
I lost my LDraw library. Can't remember where I put it on my PC anymore.
I remember doing a manual installation for some nerdy reason and, therefore, my parts library is perhaps not at the default location where the AIOI would have put it...
Is there any way to find the folder where I put my official parts via any LDraw program's preferences settings? I currently have LDView, LDCad, MLCad and LeoCAD installed (all are working properly.) I would like to find my parts library for two main reasons: LPub3D is begging me to, and I would like to add custom parts to it as well.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers. ?

Problem with part 2907 |

If I'm not going mad, there's something amiss with part 2907 in the library.
Check out the Rebrickable entry—all the images there, even their rendering of the LDraw part, show the grooves rotated 22.5° from where they are in the actual library part. Did this get changed during some update? Is there a different version of the part somewhere else?
From the photo, it's clear that the grooves, not the fins, should be at the 8 compass points.

Can't Export SVG Image from LDView Snapshot? |

Greetings all.
Anyone know a way to export an LDraw model render to SVG format? Converting a raster image to a vector after rendering the model can lead to misinterpretations from the converter (e.g. stains instead of lines, etc.) Well... You all know how converting raster to vector goes.
I'd like for the geometry of the model to accurately be interpreted by the SVG image, simply.
I notice SVG exports aren't possible in LDView, unless I'm missing on something(?) It seems as if the only options are PNG, BITMAP and JPEG.
If I'm right about this feature not being available in LDView, is there any other LDraw program that would allow this type of operation?
Thanks in advance for any help.
God bless.

Origin of part 3651 |
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2021-09-17, 14:06 - Forum: Parts Authoring

I've come to the realization that the origin of part 3651 (the venerable "toggle joint" or pin/bush connector), and a few others like it, is quite simply in the wrong place. It should really be located at the center of the pin section, not the bush end, since this is always where it needs to be rotated when working on a model. Also, whenever a piston head is placed on it, it is at this point, and likewise with any other parts placed on its studs. Finally, whenever I need to measure the length of an assembly that includes this part, I always need to know the distance to the pin hole, not to the bush end. (Yes, I can just add 20, but it's one more step to make an error…and if I'm scaling a diagonal cross brace or something, do I scale the 20 as well or just add it afterwards…?)
I know that this is a very old part, and that changing the origin of an official part is essentially a non-starter since it would mess up a whole lot of pieces in a whole lot of models. And I can always just make a fixed version for my own use. But I am curious whether this has ever been brought up before? Certainly, all the newer connectors seem to put the origin in the right place. (Has it ever been considered to have a second version of a part to correct something like this without having to replace the existing one?)
Anyway, that's it for my mini-rant. Hope you enjoyed reading!
