| [LDCad] recent submodels |
|

In current implementation, I can easily toggle between the two last edited submodels using End key. Nice, but often I would like to be able to easily access the three last edited submodels.
Use case: I have a parent model with one submodel on right side, and I want to create the mirrored submodel forleft side. So I edit right side submodel, duplicate it to left side submodel, mirror it but... now I need to navigate in current session parts bin to find again parent model.
Dunno what would be the best user interface: End key cycling between the 3 latest edited submodels?

I did some searching for this but maybe its been answered and I missed it.
I want to know if there is a way to re-locate a pin on a specific object/part and have it stay there. So say I relocate the pin such that it lines up with the hinge of the top part of the treasure chest, now if I do a side rotate the treasure chest can be opened and closed without having to move the lid. Of course normally once you click off a part a pin resets, I'm wondering if I can tell it to stay in the location I've moved it to for that specific part?

Hey,
this is a critical hotfix release for yesterday's release of version 0.8.49. It was not possible to open a *.dat file with the open file dialog.

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/
Changelog:
(1 bug fix)
The following critical issue is fixed:
- It was not possible to open a part file via the 'Open Part File' buttons : A "\" character was missing between the folder name and the file name.
What will the next release 0.8.50 deliver? clever auto-completion / context menu for the text editor / usability.
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, it is still a beta version and something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.
Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) (64bit or 32bit).
A short guide how to check if a 64bit JVM is installed on your system is located at the bottom of this message.
- Download the zip-Archive
- Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
- On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
- On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, this version was tested, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss.
You can search for updates if you do the following steps:
- On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
- On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".
I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.
LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.
System Requirements:
Minimum System Requirements:
- 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8
- OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
- Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
- CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
- RAM: 4GB
- Video-Memory: 1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 100 MB
Recommended Requirements:
- Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
- OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
- CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
- RAM: >4 GB
- Video-Memory: >1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 512 MB
- For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

How to check your JVM version (32- or 64-bit):

You can try on the command line:
If it's not a 64-bit version, you'll get a message that looks like:
This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.
