When I try to set the LDraw dir in LDView the file dialog pops up for half a second, then LDView closes. I have reinstalled the .deb package several times and a still get this problem. What do I do? In my mind LDView is the best viewer out there I need to get it up and running. I tried using the built in function to download the parts library, but when the file dialog for that pops up, LDView still crashes. :-(

When using LPUB, and there is a ROTSTEP, is there any way to have LPUB add arrows indicating the rotation, or is my best bet to get some arrow images do the "Add image" function on those steps?

Thanks!

this is not my creation, but I just saw it and was amazed:

During fixing of utf8 handling in LDCad I stumbled on this part: "u588p02c03.dat".

One of the keyword lines seems mangled. Even in utf8 editors (it comes out partly Korean or something).

This can't be right?

The line above it (with elephant etc) does contains valid utf8 coding though.

I've made this a sticky thread. Please add parts whose absence makes a major gap in the library. Try to stick to older parts (more than 1 year on the PT) but if a new part is important and appears to be overlooked (eg. new basics like tiles, plates and bricks) add it too.

And for those who wish to help review but don't know how, try this tutorial.

For example:

The 4.5V and 12V have been on the PT for a long time.

I must admit that I was skeptical to move discussions from Lugnet/cad to here, but seeing the huge activity here now, and all the new guys appearing, it was a wise move! So many thanks to all involved in the creation of this new LDraw home!!!

Currently, the forum notifications via e-mail have "[email protected]" as sender.
I'd like to ask if this could be changed to something more specific/simpler, like e.g.
ldraw.org Forums Notification
or
LDraw.org Forums
or
LDraw.org Forum Notificator Script
or
LDraw.org Forum Notificator

That would allow me to better sort my e-mails.

The general sender [email protected] should IMHO not be used for this specific task.

(Of course, the "From" text setting can be configured independently from its associated mail address,
so of course the mail address behind the From: text can stay as it is now.
I just want the displayed text in the notification mails changed to something more specific.)
