Missing part - Michael Horvath - 2013-11-15
Whenever I load Datsville I get this error for a missing part:
![[Image: ldr_datsville_missing_part_01_zpsdfb6f49e.png]](http://s421.photobucket.com/user/SharkD2161/media/Support/ldr_datsville_missing_part_01_zpsdfb6f49e.png.html)
How do I fix this?

I assume that you did not have the alias files installed. That is also the reason for not showing the parts in the traffic-light4.mpd.

With the agreement to use a unique description prefix for aliases (=), and enhancements already made to the Parts List generator, we should be able to dispense with the optional installation of this component of the library. First though, I need to update for re-issue, all the existing official Alias files. See http://forums.ldraw.org/showthread.php?tid=10142&pid=10142#pid10142.

I am just curious about "Part Physical_Colour" and "Shortcut Physical_Colour".
I feel that "Part" or "Shortcut" should be the same as in the Main colour file. I am correct on this ?
Furthermore I have found the following that seems to me not to be correct.
Code:
0 _Hinge Plate 1 x 4 (Complete) Black
