Hello All,

I think the last beta was stable enough to allow a definitive 1.5 version.

Therefore this version only includes some minor bug fixes / tweaks.

I did manage to add MSAA anti-alias support though by merging it in from the 1.6 alpha version.

MSAA will only be applied on the LDraw renderings not the gui overlay. I've found out myself this can cause problems on some VGA drivers so make sure you have the latest ones installed. the old edge only aa is also still available but aa will default back to none when upgrading to this version.

I've also managed to add part snapping info for the new 2015-02 library, the car and support category bin groups parts.

The latest LDCad version (like always) can be downloaded from

http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/download

With this release done I'm going to concentrate on 1.6 which will include the following:

• Region selection.
  
• Macro scripting.
  
• More animation scripting.
  
• ROTSTEP support.
  
• Hotkey management / reassignment.
  
• Multi layer groups.
  

• Buffer exchange support
  
• Povray animation export
  
• Blender animation export
  
• Additional things suggested in the 1.6 suggestions thread.
  

Someone on sourceforge.net reported that they are unable to generate pdf output beyone 96 dpi - even with the following settings:

When I choose "Add assembled image to parent page" at the end of a submodel a rotation icon is added to the callout.
Deleting or hiding it does not work.

The code seems to add correct:
0 !LPUB CALLOUT ROTATE_ICON DISPLAY LOCAL FALSE

Hi

I was wondering if there are any patterned versions of these parts?

50995.dat - CLONE TROOPER HELMET 2
11217.dat - MINI FIGURE HELMET NO 14

These parts are both available here:

Thanks

To my surprise, part 64867 isn't available in LDraw (yet).
I'm missing it for one of the mixels.

Anyone willing to make it?

I just wrote this tutorial for the wiki.

For those who use Facebook, I've created a Group there for discussing LDraw related topics. Please join if you would like to participate.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711364279149819/

The intent is not to compete with these forums, but a lot of people may not know about the forums, or may be more active on Facebook, so it provides another venue to talk about LDraw.

Rather than burrying this kind of questions in LDCad new version announcement threads I figured out it might be interesting to create a specific thread...

On a segment of Comedy Central's "Daily Show" They had a part about Lego. Apparently they give a better return on investment than gold.

I've converted the LXF file for 75102 (Poe's X-wing Fighter) to an LDraw model using LDD2LDraw

The model currently has the X-Wings in their "folded/collapsed" state. I'm wondering if I can use the gears feature in SR 3D Builder (or another tool?) to "virtually" open the wings using the cog on the back of the model (you can do this with the "real" model!)

I'd also like to fold/collapse the wings on Kyle Ren's command shuttle (75104) using a similar approach.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Reuben
