The LDraw All-In-One-Installer 2013-01, in short AIOI, has been released.

The AIOI supports Windows XP (Home and Pro), Windows Vista (all versions) and Windows 7 (all versions). On 64-Bit Operating Systems it will install in the "Program files (x86)" folder. The Installer will NOT run on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT Ver 4, 2000, or XP below SP2.

Changes:

• Removed Non-CA Parts Library
  
• Unified license pages
  
• LDFind 1.3.0.0 added
  
• LDMakeList 2.12 added and made it the primer Parts.lst generator
  
• Parts.lst is sorted with LDMakeList's -p and -a option, which sorts by description with the patterns at the end of the list and excludes alias files
  
• MKList moved to a subfolder as backup
  
• Rewrote the search routine for Pov-Ray and added a browse dialog asking for the location of Pov-Ray in case it couldn't be found
  

i noticed after the last update there are 2 types of tubes.
13 and 19 ribbed hoses. can someone extend the hose 19 ribbed one to an 35 ribbed one?
hope this isn't to much a deal.

Is there anywhere that individual parts can be downloaded from the official library? For example if you accidently overwrite your old one.

I recently downloaded and added the new and updated parts in the latest part update. Later when I opened one of my active LDraw projects to continue working on it I got this error message:

File Stg3-1x3.dat not found!

It seems that part #4625, Hinge Tile 1 x 4 was modified and now calls for a file called stug3-1x3.dat, but that dat file is missing. Incase the file was lost somehow when I updated the parts library, I decided to temporarily move my existing LDraw installation to my desktop and install another copy of the pre-update version. I did so and searched for the file called for using the built-in search function of Windows 8. There is no file by that name anywhere in any of LDraw's folder/file structure.

Perhaps someone forgot to include the needed stug file...

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts
update 2013-01. 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

A direct download is available at: http://www.holly-wood.it/files/mlcad/MLCad.ini

Bye, w.

I've got (unofficial, admittedly) DATs all six racing car number sloped bricks angled 33 degrees, and the 45 degree matching bricks for all the numberes 1 through 6, EXCEPT number 4.

http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3039px38 is missing.
Can someone help me to fill this gap in, please?

I have downloaded a model from internet (around 272KB) Its a Lego Technic NXT model.
First i get an subfile error on x538c01.dat i LDview. Then it shows up. But to use the program is terrible slow.
In LPub it takes up to 5-10 min before anything shows up.
I wonder what type of "super" computer i need if not a 3,2Ghz Intel quadcore CPU 12 GB ram running on windows 7 64bit can do it.
I also tied other computers but with different results. From error from visual C++ libary form LDview to slow computer.
But those had only 4GB ram but a 3 and 2 Ghz cpu.

If i do anything in Lpub it moves ok but when finished with the move the computer tinking in 5-10 sek before i can do anything again.
I also tried to find what type of part the x538c01.dat is but have not ben able to identify it.

Who can tell. Pictures of the items on this site look 3d. How do they get them?

Anyone working on this? If it's avaiable on LDD, i could do with the extracted part.. Thanks!

Hi Travis,

I discovered today (after much tearing out of hair) that BFC red+green does not work when lighting is turned off[1]. Basically, the part is returned to its default colour if you switch off lighting, regardless of what is set in the BFC options.

It seems to me that these two options should not be related like that, and that BFC should work regardless. Not sure if this is a bug, or just a quirk, but it would probably be nice to see either a decoupling, or a warning.
