What settings does LPub use when rendering with LDView |

Hi all,
Maybe a strange question from me, but what settings does LPub use when rendering with LDView?
I've never been able to figure that out after all these years working with LPub (original and now LPub3D).
I have more PC's that run LDraw where I produce instructions and I am under the impressions it is different on every manchine, though the LDraw installation is pretty standard.
Also the resolution of the screen seems to affect the width/height of the images.
Where on one machine all assemblies fit nicely on the page, rendering the same LDraw file on another machine the images are either bigger (alas don't fit anymore) or are smaller.
Is there a way to force LPub(3D) what LDView settings it uses?
Thanks.

Part annotation in LPub3D |

Hi all,
Through regular expressions the part annotation can be extracted from the part description.
I'd like the annotation for Technic Bricks to be only the length (like beams).
The regex now is ^Technic Brick\s+(\d+\s+(x|X)\s+\d+\s*(x*|X*)\s*\d*\.*\d*)\s*.*$
This extracts the full size of the brick, ie. Technice Brick 1 x 16 gives "1 x 16".
What I'd like is only the 16.
How do I do that?
Thanks.

Conversion LDD<-->LDraw
Hi everyone,
I would like to inform you all that at the following link you will be able to find the Ldraw.xml file updated on a regular basis, as soon as new conversions are available. Everyone can also contribute by sending me updates via the built-in messaging system.
I will make sure to:
1) test the submitted parts
2) update the xml file
3) release a new rev in the same location.
I included at the bottom of the page a log of the latest changes.

Comments are welcome.
- Mattia
Disclaimer: flexible parts (or multi bones: i.e. hoses, strings, ...) cannot be converted (limitation of LDD) and are therefore missing in the Ldraw converted file.
EDIT: If you plan on contributing please make sure to send me tested parts conversions only. In case I get wrong ones I will just notify the contributor and ask to fix and resend. Thanks

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg.../54272.dat
I once tried to model this one but couldn't figure the saw details out. I just found out that an LDD model for it exists and is listed on this page but is redacted because the part exists on the PT.
Any way to retrieve the LDD model? I could try stitch the geometry from that onto the unfinished LDraw version. I'm grateful to my past self that I was smart enough to upload the unfinished version onto the parts tracker..
