| Rules for tile descriptions |

In your opinion it would not be better to omit the presence of the groove in all the tiles and indicate only the possible lack.
I know that it is contrary to the principle of expressing what is there and not what is missing, but in this case it seems to me that we would have more advantages than anything else:
in alphabetical order the first part of a tile family would be the neutral version (as is now the case for 1x3 tiles, 1x6 tiles and 1x8 tiles, but not for 1x2 tiles, 1x4 tiles and 2x2 tiles)
the descriptions would be shorter and more homogeneous (already now, most of the 1x4 and 2x2 patterned tiles do not give indications of the presence or absence of the groove)
the new parts are already with the groove, only very first versions were devoid of it (and there are many more patterned or stickered parts based on the grooved versions than on the others).

The primitives reference needs to be updated. This is a manual process which I have little time to do. If someone knowledgeable wants to put together an updated reference, I can format it for the site.

Hi there,
there are some lines in a stud.io file that I don't understand.
Example for line-3-triangle:
Code: 3 -1 12 0 10 14.345 2 10 -14.345 2 10 0.345 0.954 0.329 0.897 0.524 0.897
3 -1 16 32 -6 19 32 -10 -19 32 -10
Example for line-5-auxline:
Code: 5 -2 7.654 4.000 -18.478 7.654 8.000 -18.478
Code: 5 24 7.6537 4 -18.4776 7.6537 8 -18.4776 14.14 4 -14.14 0 4 -20
Thanks in advance for any hint.

79194 Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Bar Handle on Long Stem
It seems that the model of this part does not exist (only with the short version). Could someone work on this one if possible? Thanks

| Simple LDCad script |

So, I wrote my first script for LDCad, hooray! 
It is a simple macro to transpose two colors in a selection. You might use it if you have built a huge checkered floor out of tiles and realized you have the pattern backwards!
I'm sure there are ways to improve it, but I'm actually pleased I was able to work it out in one day. 
Here it is:
Code: genTools=require('genTools')
function runColorSwap()
local ses=ldc.session()
local sel=ses:getSelection()
local cnt=sel:getRefCount()
if not ses:isLinked() then
ldc.dialog.runMessage('No active model.')
return
end
if cnt==0 then
ldc.dialog.runMessage('No selection active.')
return
elseif cnt<2 then
ldc.dialog.runMessage('At least two items must be selected.')
return
end
local colors={}
local function has_value (tab, val)
for k, v in ipairs(tab) do
if v == val then
return true
end
end
return false
end
for i=1,cnt do
local ref=sel:getRef(i)
local col=ref:getColor()
if not has_value(colors, col) then
table.insert(colors, col)
end
end
if #colors==2 then
for i=1,cnt do
local ref=sel:getRef(i)
local col=ref:getColor()
if col==colors[1] then
ref:setColor(colors[2])
elseif col==colors[2] then
ref:setColor(colors[1])
end
end
else ldc.dialog.runMessage('The selection must contain exactly two colors.')
end
end
--===================
function register()
local macro=ldc.macro('Color swap')
macro:setHint('Transposes two colors in a selection.')
macro:setEvent('run', 'runColorSwap')
end
register()
Suggestions are welcome!

An updated version of the LDraw All-In-One-Installer, in short AIOI, containing the LDraw Parts Library update 2022-02 with 366 new files (including 196 new parts and 12 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 2022-02
* Update to MLCad.ini 2022-02
* Update to Offline Parts Catalog 2022-02
* Update to LDView 4.4.1
You can download the AIOI from:
LDraw.org >> Help >> Get Started >> Windows >> LDraw All-In-One-Installer
Many thanks to all the programmers who contributed to this release.
