The English description seems to claim no glue, when it says, "The adhesive does not use," but I'm not sure if I believe it. It would be impressive even with glue.

Hi all,

While looking for a new Windows laptop, I had my Macbook from work reinstalled and updated to OS X El Capitan 10.11.5.
So far, I got the native Mac LDraw software running (Bricksmith, LPub and LDView).
LDD updated and Brickstore running again (hung constantly on old OS).

And I got MLCad to work using Wine.
Very nice.

So, I had hope that LDCad would run too. I needed X11 for that too.
In fact, LDCad did start and I was able to open a model that rendered (slow, but it did):

   


Alas, the menu and all other interface elements did not work.

Any chance to get that working too?

[img]file:///C:/Users/Jake/Desktop/Capture.PNG[/img]Hi, 
I am new to Ldraw and I am having trouble creating 'callouts'. I need to be able to create substeps or submodels in the instructions. I have attched a picture of what I am trying to get. I don't know how to set it up in Leocad (or MLcad), and I don't know how to set it up in Lpub3.
Please help!

Hi, I looked at the LPub3d change log, but I'm still not sure how to add this to fade steps? Thx.

Hi folks,

Its been a while since I was here, but now I have a question:
Will the various LDraw software work on a Windows 8 or 10 laptop like an Acer Aspire ES1-131-C50P or comparable laptop?

I like to focus on LDCad, LPub3D and LDView.
I asume MLCad will work, since this works even on old Windows 95 :-)

Thanks.

Hello there, I registered recently in order to submit some patterned parts I made for myself.

I've read http://www.ldraw.org/article/349.html and sent an e-mail to [email protected] as requested 20 days ago.

I wonder if I made something wrong or if everyting is fine and if I just have to be patient.

Thank you.

Hey :)

• ...see the version number in the window title from the 3D editor.
  

1. It was not possible to change the colour of CSG objects (3D editor)
   
2. After closing a file in the 3D editor with "Close" in the parts tree window and actually vanishing from the 3D and Text editor it cannot be deleted in the explorer telling that the file is open in the SE java platform.
   
3. Fixed a NullPointerException which occurred during the transformation of CSG bodies (3D editor only)
   
4. Fixed a NullPointerException which occurred during the colour change for CSG bodies (3D editor only)

Hi all,
I am wondering is it possible to animate chain/track in LDCad?
If yes, any help is highly appreciated.
I searched the forums and found nothing on that particular subject.
Regards.

I was wondering if there was a way to make LDView export a series of images showing a rotation around the model incrementally.

Could it be accomplished using the batch command (which I know next to nothing about)?

Hi,

the bug hunt is over,  0.8.14 is ready to go.


As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:
(14 bug fixes)

The following critical issues were fixed:

1. The PartReview progress monitor did not update the status info.
   
2. "Split View Horizontally / Vertically" did not work correct with the new sync. feature (Zoom / Manipulator / Translation).
   
3. "Intersector" did not hide primitives.
   
4. The LDU to Inch factor was not correct (was 0.015625, but should be 0.015748).
   
5. Released translation / property files for the German language version too early.
   
6. MeshReducer did not always terminate automatically (but the manual "Cancel" button worked).
   
7. SWTException: Widget is Disposed, when inserted something.
   
8. Transform selection (Subfiles) threw a NullPointerException.
   
9. A colour change (Subfiles) threw a NullPointerException.
   
10. The OpenGL line width for primitives was not constant (Primitive Area).
    
11. After I used SymSplitter to get half of a file, and then used the Select ...All Shown, all edges, tris and quads in hidden primitives and subfiles were selected too.
    
12. "Drag & Drop" with primitives led to an event overflow, which slowed down the OpenGL render engine.
    
13. Open *.dat File (3D Editor) threw a NullPointerException.
    
14. The Subfiler didn't include and move comments. They're left behind in the main file. The structure of the file was lost.
