Hello,
I'm just releasing LDPartEditor 0.8.1c Beta I will try to release a new version each month or earlier.
![[Image: imgDuke2.png]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fi18ywwsEUo/VOOuvkpsdzI/AAAAAAAAASw/Ax0RRFkleKA/s64-no/imgDuke2.png)
You can download LPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/
Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) (64bit or 32bit).
A short guide how to check if a 64bit JVM is installed on your system is located at the bottom of this message.
- Download the zip-Archive
- Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
- On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LPE.
- On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LPE.
Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, LPE 0.8.1c was carefully tested and developed, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss. LPE could endanger your system stability, too.
You can search for updates if you do the following steps:
- On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
- On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".
LPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LPE on older machines as well.
Changelog:
With this release you will be able to...- ...emulate mouse keys on a focused 3D window with keyboard keys (K = Left Mouse Button, L = Right Mouse Button, M = Middle Mouse Button)
- ...Convert selected Lines to Conditional Lines
- ...use a even better "Delete" function in the parts tree (it creates .bak files for project parts and deletes only the reference path to non-project parts).
This release includes bug fixes as well (thanks to Willy for sending me his log files).
System Requirements:
Minimum System Requirements:- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7
- OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
- Operating System (32/64bit): Windows [XP; Vista; 7 or newer], Mac OS X [>=10.6], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=10.4]
- CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
- RAM: 2.5GB
- Video-Memory: 512 MB
- Free Disk Space: 100 MB
Recommended Requirements:- Operating System (64bit): Windows 7, Mac OS X [>=10.6], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=10.4]
- CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
- RAM: >4 GB
- Video-Memory: >512 MB
- Free Disk Space: 512 MB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to check your JVM version (32- or 64-bit):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can try on the command line:
If it's not a 64-bit version, you'll get a message that looks like:
Code: This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.
In general, I recommend to install the 64-bit version of the JVM.

- ...use the background image feature.
- ...benefit from better icon design.
- ...choose your locale.
- ...convert optional lines to edge lines.
- ...manipulate the subfile matrix numbers without the text editor.
- ...send error logs to me.
- ...use a coloured cross cursor.

| Unable to open MLCAD? |

I've just installed the AIOI package on my laptop (windows 8, 64 bit, directly in the c:/ drive) and I can't seem to open mlcad or lpub. mlcad keeps asking for a parts or p directory, I browse to the parts folder and hit 'ok' and I get diddly. LPub wants me to 'browse for folders"... but it doesn't tell me what folders. LView worked fine, LFind is building databases as I type this...
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: Fixed-my LDraw folder somehow got dumped in C:/Public/Documents, and MLCAD was pissed it couldn't find it. Moved it to C:/ proper, pointed it to LDraw, and it worked.

I've been tinkering around with the template in an attempt to make it more useful for the admins and a little less boxy. If any of the changes cause problems (they shouldn't since most are CSS stuff) let me know. Also if you have anything that's annoying about the forums from a template standpoint let me know and I'll try to address if I can.
