  New Parts Tracker Search Capabilities
Posted by: Chris Dee - 2020-02-13, 19:11 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (2)

(2020-02-12, 6:29)Chris Dee Wrote: I can take a look at this.

That's done for the Parts Tracker File scan (https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptscan.cgi). Multiple words are now supported and all need to exist in a file for it to be listed inthe search results. Double quoted phrases are supported and need to exist as entered. The two forms may be combined.

The search box in the Parts Tracker page header works slightly differently. If the entered word (xxxx) exists in the unofficial library (as xxxx.dat) the detail page for that file is returned. I guess now that the Parts Tracker allows the display of detail pages for official parts, it should also check for a precise match in the official library. At present if there is no unofficial file, the search term is passed to ptscan. It would be possible to make that script work differently in this use case, but it is not clear to me what it should do.

  How to add a flexible Powered Up Cable
Posted by: CJ H. - 2020-02-13, 16:44 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

Hello,

I'm trying to get a Powered Up train motor with a flexible cable into my .mpd so I can build instructions showing where to run the cable.  

As far as I can tell, the Powered Up Train motor is not available in LDraw, but the Power Functions train motor (unofficial 87574) is a good approximation.  However this part does not have a cable and plug.  I understand a bit about how flexible parts work in LDCad, but I can't seem to find the right part to use to generate the cable.  None of the parts I have found seem to allow me to add guide points.  So two questions:

1)  Is adding a flexible cable to 87574 the right approach?
2)  What part do I use to serve as the basis for the cable that I can stretch?

Thanks!

  Problem using Minifig Legs Dual Mould in Studio
Posted by: Alastair W - 2020-02-11, 17:17 - Forum: Help - Replies (5)

Hi all

I'm attempting to use part 21019 (Minifig Hips and Legs Dual Mould with Uncoloured Lower Leg Pattern) in BrickLink Studio.
My objective is to have flesh coloured upper legs and black or brown lower legs to emulate boots. The upper part of the legs will be covered by a skirt.

Anyhow, I have discovered that this part consists of many subparts and I can import them one-by-one into Studio.
However, the right leg appears to consist of left leg parts and I'm unable to make a mirror copy.
You can see what I mean here:
https://www.ldraw.org/official-part-look...461p05.dat
The subparts are all for a left leg!

So I'm rather confused and probably not even taking the correct approach.
Any assistance you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
Alastair

In order to refocus my todo list here is a standing question:

What is the one annoying across all of the LDraw.org website that you wish were fixed?

Please be specific and propose a solution if it's not obvious.
If it's not a quick fix, I'll add it to the todo list otherwise I'll just fix the issue. In either case you request will be marked as [Added]

  Windows 10 and "open with" for LDraw user
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2020-02-10, 16:40 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (4)

Looking for some tips...
I recently updated my trusty but ageing Windows 7 to Windows 10 on my main machine. Overall, the update went fine (eg. I can now use latest versions of LPub3D!), but the right click+"open with" is now mostly useless for me.
For .dat part files, I set the default to LDDP, that works fine, but previously right click + "open with" allowed me to open .dat directly with LDView, LDPE, MLCad, or LETGUI. Now it only offers LETGUI and (useless) Seamonkey browser.
Similar problem for .ldr or .mpd model files, my default application is LDCad and I can "open" with MLCad and (useless) Seamonkey or LETGUI, while I'd like to be able to open directly with LDView, LDDP or LeoCAD.

I tried many things, such as changing default app to other desired programs and back, hoping that Win10 would learn from that, to no avail...

Can someone post a high quality photo (preferably a scan but aligned top down will do too) of the patterned label tile from the ISS set?
