An updated version of the LDraw All-In-One-Installer, in short AIOI, containing the LDraw Parts Library update 2023-02 with 279 new files (including 147 new parts and 2 new primitives) has been released.

The AIOI supports Windows XP (Home and Pro), Windows Vista or higher (all versions). There are two installer files available: Use the 64 Bit AIOI to install all the main 64 Bit programs, while the older 32 Bit programs are offered in a separated .exe file. Please note that only the 64 Bit version contains the LDraw Parts Library. If you want to use the 32 Bit programs it is mandatory that the library has been installed previously. The Installer will NOT run on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT Ver 4, 2000, or XP below SP2.

It contains the following changes:

* Update to Parts Library 2023-02
* Update to LDView 4.5
* Update to LPub3D 2.4.6.144
* Update to LeoCAD 23-01
* Update to MLCad.ini 2023-02
* Update to Offline Parts Catalog 2023-02

You can download the AIOI from:

Can I choose to freeze parts to make him unselectable？but not hidden

Hello,

I try to have this view configuration for the source window without success

How to do it ?

Hi,

for the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG), the CC-BY-2.0 license is considered non-free due to its several issues. I was very happy with the recent switch to CC-BY-4.0 as that license is considered free according to the DFSG. The recent release 2302 adjusted the LICENSE header of many parts with the result that 74.8% of all parts are now licensed under CC-BY-4.0 (and not anymore the problematic CC-BY-2.0). This is very good but there are still some pitfalls.

I tried to rank parts by their popularity because I wanted to figure out whether any "important" parts are still in the remaining 25.2% under CC-BY-2.0. To this end, I downloaded the rebrickable.com database of official LEGO sets and then sorted parts by how often they appear in these sets. Of the top 90% of that list, 376 parts are still licensed under CC-BY-2.0. This includes important parts like "3623.dat" (Plate  1 x  3). The full list (sorted from more popular to less popular) is:

Hi I wonder if there is a genius out there that can help me out? I have recently updated all the new parts, but now in the selection window I have at least 2 of everything? But what is troubling me more is that nearly all of the parts I select won't snap together!! Is there a setting that I can alter to resolve this issue? Please note that any help needs to be easy to follow as I have messed up the program lots of times trying to follow advice! When I said that I have downloaded new parts, really my daughter has done it for me as again I struggle with these things, so advice on downloading parts ( in simple English ) would also be gratefully received
Thanks in advance for anyone patient enough for my simpleness

I keep getting an "Error: API call failed with code 403", when i am and searching in Lego set LDCad.

Am i doing any thing wrong ?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Thanks again for creating my previous requested parts.

I'd like to request Friends Cat 11602 (Sitting) for the next set 41013 and 41018 in Friends OMR project.

I'll try to make printed patterns, so the part body is sufficient.

Dear Admins,
I am currently checking which LDR files of official sets have been posted on the forum, so I can work on completing the missing ones.

While doing this, I noticed that the search function for the forum does not appear to be working properly. As an example, I searched for set 1497 - Pitstop and Crew, first just with the set number, then with the description, but I got the following message.

"Sorry, but no results were returned using the query information you provided. Please redefine your search terms and try again."

As I was sure I had seen it somewhere before, I eventually found it here, by going through several of the threads using the browsrrs "find on this page" feature. 

This issues does not always seem to happen, e.g. sets I recently uploaded myself seem to appear in the search just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

A new thread for town train and boat models from 1978. Didn't find this one in the forum or database so I hope I didn't miss it somehow. There were two version of this set. 575-1 for the US and 575-2 for Canada with each with a dedicated sticker set.
This set came out about 2-3 years before I started playing with Lego and has been on my list of virtual builds for a while.
