| LDraw.org 2024-08 Parts Update Now Available |

The 2024-08 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 864 new files to the core library, including 540 new parts and 12 new primitives.
Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.
This update also includes a new LDConfig with Dark Bluish Grey Rubber and a better defined Fabuland Red
You can preview the new parts in 2024-08 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.
Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the new PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

| [LDPE] 1.8.89 Released (bugfix for: hashtags / manipulator / CSG) |

Hey,
just as promised, here is another quality-of-life release.
![[Image: attachment.php?aid=12753]](https://forums.ldraw.org/attachment.php?aid=12753)
As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/
Changelog:
(4 bug fixes)
With this release the following critical issues are fixed:
- Descriptions containing a hashtag # are modified by unrelated quick fixes.
- The movement type of the manipulator changes if, during the move, the mouse gets close enough to a plane move square.
- The CSG tree does not switch back to a higher quality if the manipulator was moved and nothing CSG releated was selected.
- The MacOS X ARM installer package was still indicating a 1.8.80 version, but the contents were newer.
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.
Installation on Windows:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
- Run LDPartEditor-1.8.89.msi
- Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
- Install ldparteditor_1.8.89-1_amd64.deb
- Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
- Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.89.dmg
- Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
- Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor
I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.
LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.
System Requirements:
Minimum System Requirements:
- OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
- Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
- CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
- RAM: 4GB
- Video-Memory: 1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 150 MB
Recommended Requirements:
- Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
- OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
- CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
- RAM: >4 GB
- Video-Memory: >1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 500 MB
- For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

| Adding a file header. |

I’m new here, and I recently made 2 different parts in Inventor. I then converted them from .obj files to use in Part Designer, and set up their connection points. After exporting them as an LDraw file (.dat), I understand I should have a header in the file for submission to the part tracker.
What application do I use to add this header?
Also, I don’t need to add color information anywhere do I?
