Hi :)

sadly, I was not able to launch my recent build of LDPE (0.8.25) on my Windows XP virtual machine.
It would be nice if someone tries to start the new version on an old machine (which has a dedicated graphics card).

You can find the archive here (32-bit only):

I think there is something wrong with the forum group rights,.

I just noticed I can view (and probably post, but didn't try) the steering co group while I'm not a member of that group.

I'm trying to create a table with footnotes.

The footnotes don't work at all!

Can someone fix this?

Does the forum need the 30-second delay between successive searches for registered users? Sometimes I'll search for something, and after getting too many results, I'll immediately try to be more specific in my search, but it forces me to wait 30 seconds in that case. It's not the end of the world, but it's inconvenient.

I noticed some of my POV files were generated by a newer version of L3P.exe than the one available on Lars Hassing's website.

http://www.hassings.dk/l3/l3p.html

The one you can download from that webpage is this one:
// Generated by L3P v1.4 BETA 20080930 (Win32)  © 1998-2008 Lars C. Hassing [email protected]

The one I somehow got a hold of in the past is this one:
// Generated by L3P v1.4 BETA 20131202 (Win32)  © 1998-2013 Lars C. Hassing [email protected]

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the newer version? Some of my helper scripts were designed with that version in mind, and they no longer work. Thanks.

I can't export my model to 3ds file correctly... When I try and open the file n c4d some parts are missing...so How can I install custom parts in Leo CAD to fix the problem...I Tried to install the missing parts but they were deformed...

Hi all today someone asked (again) if there is a mac version of LDCad.

I advised the usual try a virtual machine, but this time I also thought about WINE as there is a mac version of that.

This made me wanne try running LDCad under wine in Linux as it should be the same I think.

So with some tweaks I did manage to get LDCad 1.5 running under wine on Mint 8,

It acts a bit weird the first start though but the second seems ok, only problem is no text rendering (so all crosses in the menus etc).

This was fixed by coping the FreeSans.ttf and FreeMone.ttf font files into the default/gui folder though.

The fun was then spoiled by it crashing assoon you start a new model, but this might be the result of me running mint in a virtual machine using software rendering.

Has anyone else tried running LDCad under WINE on Linux or a mac ?

update:
The crash was caused by using  std::locale envDef("")  for some reason, I managed to fix that by using std::locale envDef("C") this combined with the option to disable file monitoring seems to make WINE usable combined with LDCad 1.6.  I will need to do some more test though, any additional findings from experienced Wine users will be appreciated.

update2:
found a better way to fix the fonts issue, just symlink the systems font root dir into the wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts folder, like shown on the below picture.

Hi Trevor,

Making instructions I have found some "bugs" in LPub3D.

Model Description does not respond to placing it somewhere relative to the page
For example:
0 !LPUB PAGE MODEL_DESCRIPTION PLACEMENT LOCAL TOP PAGE INSIDE
0 !LPUB PAGE MODEL_DESCRIPTION PLACEMENT LOCAL TOP_RIGHT PAGE INSIDE
do not work and keeps placing the description top left

Setting an automatic piece count gives wrong count
Most of the time in an MPD with multiple submodels and multiple usages of certain same submodels.
For example the model I am working on now has 768 parts and LPub3D gives 753.

Assembly margins in a callout only seem to affect the top (or bottom) margin
Horizontal margins have no effect. Setting a margin in a call out separator gives odd results too.

If I find more I'll let you know.
