  Pneumatic valve naming
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2015-10-17, 12:17 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (16)

The 42023 Mercedes Benz Arocs contains a variant of 47223 valve, with modified (stepped) output tubes.
[Image: 4694cc01.jpg]
According to Brickset, this new variant kept the same design number, but 47223a, 47223b and 47223c are used for various positions of switch. How should I name the new variant then?

  LDMiniAssi -new tool-
Posted by: Michael Heidemann - 2015-10-17, 9:20 - Forum: All Other Programs. - Replies (1)

Hi to all

I wrote some time ago an application for Willy to make his life easier in case of updates and maintaining the MLCad.ini.

Now I like to share this also with all other interested users.

You can download from http://ldraw.heidemann.org/index.php?page=ldminiassi

[Image: main.png]

Please use it only with a copy of your real MLCad.ini.

Please note that there is no description how to use. If you are interested and can't find out the way it works, please just ask in reply to this post.

  MLCad.ini 2015-01 update now available
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2015-10-16, 18:49 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (1)

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2015-01. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

Bye, w.

  LDView's downloader
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2015-10-16, 12:42 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (6)

Hi,

I remember vaguely Roland telling me that LDView bases it's "File > Check for Library Updates" download on the .TXTs in the "models" folder. Could this be confirmed? What will happen if I rip off that folder from the library?

Over the years different programmers have added a snapping feature to their programs. This thread aims to work out a standard which they can adopted or modified to their needs.

Some theoretical work has already been done, see:

  Dev.-Break for one Month
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2015-10-13, 20:23 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (2)

Dear friends,

due to other things which I have to do and I just do in my free-time [ I play the Cello for about one year... Smile ], I intend to make a little LDraw development break for about a month, but I will still read the forums from time to time.
Just for your information! Smile

Cheers & leg godt

Nils
