Hey there!

First and foremost, I find this tool is great!

However, I have some troubles with it.

I have LIC_0.6.0 and LIC 0.9 - only these two I was able to find.

0.9 made my instruction in great 2400x1800 px, which I find great quality.

However, it looses step separators, plus makes trouble in PDF generation. Actually, yesterday I was able to produce PDFs, but today my computer hangs once I start doing that - Windows 10 on Phenom 955 BE with no external graphic card. So I tested it on my second computer, i5 Dell E6410 also with Win10. Same problems - but yesterday it was OK!

So I made whole instruction back again, from ldr file in LIC 0.6.0, but forgot to increase resolution, and default 800x600 produces bad quality.

I though, I will just set FullHD or even these 2400x1800 but then all parts are so small. Worse, PLI are small and when I edit template, it affects part but not frame, which stays small and needs to be clicked and just confirm to 100% scale but on each slide!

LIC 0.9 have troubles with submodels - once I start submodel, saved file cannot be opened again ;(

Either I make something wrong or LiC needs many improvments stll ;(

ps. LiC 0.6.0 works OK for me, but I just would like to import ldr model right into higher resolution...

Hello everybody!

I'm AFOL plus I'm teaching kids robotics using best tool ever made: Lego Education sets, from DUPLO Early Simple Machines, thru WeDO 1.0, 2.0 and last, but not least, Mindstorms.

I'm creating some instructions on my own - and today I need to make instructions for smallest kids: 3yrs old, who can't get on with instructions made by LEGO, where they combined few elements together and make pictures too complicated.

So, MLCad is my answer, but, it is missing technical DUPLO parts.

plus a transparent gear box that has no own picture, but is presented on group elements:

I know I'm asking for a big favour. As a reward, I can promise each and every instruction I make using them I will put on public.

If anyone needs specific pictures, measurement etc, I own these sets...

Best regards

Hi all, I hope someone can help me with the issue below. Raised the question already on the Eurobricks forum but maybe someone could help here as well.

I'm building a C model of the 42029 pickup using Ldcad 1.5 and I was planning to create instructions with Lpub3D. I made the mistake of not testing my .mpd during the building process with Lpub3D, so I've realised towards the end that the file cannot be opened, Lpub3D crashes when I try to open the file (Lpub3d***.exe has stopped working). As I did not have any other troubleshooting ideas I started to remove submodels and steps in my mpd going backwards to see if I can find the problematic part.
As it turned out the problem is not that simple - different versions of Lpub3D on different operating systems can open different versions of my file.

E.g. version with 8 submodels - opens with Win10/Lpub3d 2.0.14 / opens with Win7/Lpub3d 2.0.14 / opens with Win10/Lpub3d 2.0.14
version with 11 submodels - crashes with Win10/Lpub3d 2.0.14 / opens with Win7/Lpub3d 2.0.14 / opens with Win10/Lpub3d 1.3.4
version with 21 submodels - crashes with all versions (nearly complete model has 60 submodels)

Due to this inconsistency I could not find a single part or submodel causing the issue - above a certain complexity all versions of Lpub3D crashes.

I'm sure Lpub3d supposed to handle a model with ~1000 pieces, so I don't know at this point how to change my file to make it work. Any advise or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I've linked the different versions of the files if someone would be kind enough to have a look.

Hoi Trevor,

Would it be possible to make it so that one can refresh the cache for only one page or only one assembly image?
When working with large models and multistep pages it can be a bit awkward to refresh everything every time I make an adjustment.

Thanks.

Jaco


P.S. All features work splendid now in the latest version. Thanks for that!

Guys,

I'm preparing the 2016-01 where I added LICreator. I would appreciate if you could test it a little bit:

Thanks, w.

I've had challenges searching for parts in the parts bin. At one point I had it working and was able to find parts by number or partial description. I can't seem to do that anymore regardless of how I set the options in the search.

Any pointers?

I've attached a screenshot of the current options which won't return a part when I search for a known part number.

Hi all,

What is the difference (if there is any) between

http://brickset.com/parts/design-21731

and

http://brickset.com/parts/design-93274



Part 93274 does exist in LDraw, 21731 does not.
Can we create an alias for 93274 like 21731?

I got bored and coded up a generator to make PBG file from Bricklink inventories.

It is very basic.  It translates BL colors to LDraw colors but does no part number validation. I may polish it up in which case I'll move it to an ldraw.org address.

You can find it here:
http://www.pobursky.com/pbggen/pbggen.html

You can download Bricklink set inventories here:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp

Note: My generator only works with tab delimited files not XML.

Guys,

I never dreamed something like this could ever happen. I asked for changing my minor to my full name on my Paypal account and after a few weeks where nothing happened beside continuous requests for more data  I've got the following mail:

Could anyone submit this part to the parts tracker? I can't log in there anymore.

There are different variants, for example here with a white frame: Peeron picture
But mine just has a thin black frame.
