Hi,

I just want to point out some small screw which I think is missing in the setup of the forum's RSS feed:

I personally find the subject line of posts very useful:
ideally, they sum up a post, so a reader can follow a thread roughly without having to read
each and every post. Here is an example (just the subject lines given):

As stated on the tracker, I'm reworking this part (which according to Philo seems to have a lot of problems).

Problem is I do not own the part, but I've made assumptions and created it with a CAD software. With stl2dat, I've made a ldraw file.

Can some of you have a look and tell me what do you think of the pin-holes and axe-hole positions and dimensions (especially in the Z direction).
Then, if you compare with the tyre that goes with it (32003), the two parts don't seem to have the same diameters. Which one do you think is the correct one?


I know the part is very heavy and doesn't have any primitive but this is just a temporary file to first see if the geometry is correct.


Last question: if I rework the part from scratch: do I need to keep the name of the first author and put mine only in the file history?

Did someone recently change cookies from expiring on a certain date to lasting for one browser session?

I'm pretty sure its not just my browser because four browsers across two systems all report the forum login cookie being valid only for the current login session, whereas before they were set to expire at a set date far (I forget exactly when) in the future, while those same browsers also have cookies that were set a long time ago and will be valid for a long time, and I haven't changed settings on any of those four (different) browsers recently. So I'm pretty sure a setting was changed in the forum software.

If I am mistaken and I am the only one exhibiting this behavior, then please excuse me and ignore this post. If not, I would appreciate it if we could still have persistent logins back, even if the cookies expire sooner.

If it is a question of security (people stealing cookies from logins on public computers, and then impersonating us on the forums), then perhaps could we have an option when logging in to set the duration of the session?

I've just posted this new topic, asking for help with a Primo 1x1 brick:

But when I look at the recent posts

, it does not show me correctly as author, but instead "Jude".

There must be a bug in the forum software.

Hi, I just have created the Primo 1x1 brick with LEGO logo pattern:




http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...000p01.dat

However, as I just created that from the peeron photo and do not possess this part,
I do not know if the pattern is just on 1 side (the front)
or on 2 sides (the front and the rear).

Does someone possess this part and can tell?

In the final stages of putting together the 2011-01 Parts Update, I mistakenly transposed the dimensions of some of the sticker parts, using "Sticker X-dimension x Z-dimension ...", instead of putting the Z-dimension first.

I'd like to correct these, but does anyone feel they need to be cycled through the Parts Tracker to do this?

I've been using both the official LPUB 4.0.0.10 from Sourceforge and LPUB 4.0.0.12 compiled by Ramón as mentioned in a previous thread. Here is my issue, I have a set of directions that start with a submodel x2. Then it is finished with the taking the the 2 submodels and connecting them with some additional pieces. (File attached) My issue is that when I do "Add assembled image to parent page", It gives me a callout appropriately on pg 12, counting the cover. The callout is WAY too big, but there is no way to scale it. When I right click on the assembly in the callout, and choose "change scale" the callout doesn't change.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm assuming there are some metacommands I put right in the file, but I looked through the list of metacommands from the help menu, and couldn't figure it out.

Thanks!

Hello i am makeing instructions for one of my own models,to make it easier for the builder i wanted to animate a part getting rotated .I have not used buffer exchange before,i have read the page about it from 'working with lpub' google site but this did not help me.

Step 1)



Step 2)

As Tore just pointed out, if stud groups are ever created for underside studs, then they should probably be allowed to be scaled in the Y axis so that the same stud groups can be used for both plates and bricks. I suggest that we add the text that just passed (4 YES votes as of now), then come up with a modification of the wording to allow for scaling in the Y axis for stud groups used on the underside of bricks/plates/tiles.
