The LDraw All-In-One-Installer 2011-02, in short AIOI, has now been released:

* It comes with the latest LDraw Parts Library update 2011-02 as well as MLCad.ini file.
* MLCad has been updated to 3.40

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.

You can download the AIOI by going to the download database under the heading Critical Files and Libraries.

I was reading about the LDView bugs and spotted this statement.

Travis Cobbs Wrote:Also, no matter how much memory you have, LDView is a 32-bit app, so it will crash if it ever needs more than 2GB (or perhaps 3GB, but I don't think so).

Tonight marks the end of DesignByMe (formerly known as Lego Factory).

Only on the Parts Tracker - e.g. her. I'm not yet convinced this is a good idea, or sure how we should implement it in the Parts Library.

Hi,

I have designed a tower crane and have used LDraw to draw it.

There are some technic brick combonations in the slew mechanism which I
have not seen in existing models and would like to record it.

Without having contest it, is there an libery that I can store it.

Hi all,

Who is the owner of the LDraw pages and group on Facebook?

This one is is Tim Gould's, I see?

I see Tim Courtney made this one

Shouldn't "we" put some effort in social media?
I think announcements like a new version of MLCad or Part release should be mentioned here?

I recognized, that if I use the primitive substitution option with models that have xxxxh.DAT baseplates in them the whole program does crash.
With xxxxh.DAT I mean the baseplate with detailed underside studs - only for the case these get renamed.....

Is this error known ?
Will it be fixed?

Hi all,
I am currently coding on my MPDCenter.
Aim is:
1) Open and Save MPD files.
2) Import DAT and LDR files.
3) Export DAT and LDR files including referenced files from within the MPD.
4) Delete DAT and LDR files from MPD.
5) Import DAT files if used from within the MPD that are not official.
6) Adding the License in a bunch to all files within the MPD.
7) If MPD filename is according to the current OMR Spec. keep the DAT and LDR files also conform to the OMR spec.

That sounds all simple, but in detail it is'nt.

I would be glad if there where some people that like to test it.
Written in Visual Basic Express 2008, so it might also run on Linux and MAC with MONO Enviroment (but this is not the first aim).

If you are interested in further developing this tool please leave your comment here.

This decribes method to create the junction between stud primitives and a non-planar surface. It is not perfect (there are some T-junctions created in the process), but it's pretty efficient. It is also the opportunity to see an example of usage of many tools...


We start with the partial part, stud4a are in position and we need to join them to dome shaped surface above.
