Where to find PF trian mot dat file? - Zhengrong Zang - 2014-02-26

I am using MLCad v3.4 and I can't find PF train motor, though there is 9v train motor, where can I find that motor data file ?

I'm afraid that this one was never done Sad
Don't lose hope though - but it may take some time!

Actually... I made it a while back (without the wire)

I just tweaked it a bit and fixed the number. Note that it is a single part rather than allowing the orange bits to move. Probably I would change that in the future.

Why? because AFOL don't like PF train?

No, it's just a rather complex part to do... Fortunately Tim has done most of the work Wink

BTW, Philo (or anyone). If you want to work on this please go ahead. I won't have a chance for quite some time.

I am using Train register theme, is this a reason?

Maybe you have a problem in your parts tree category criteria, but honestly I don't know...

I get a failure downloading this file, see: 
.jpg   parts not find 87574.jpg (Size: 13.47 KB / Downloads: 35)
I try to import it in Studio and/or PartsDesigner.
Any idea?

Put the ###s0#.dat files in a folder named ‘s’.

For instance, for part 1234.dat, you need to have
<folder>
├ 1234.dat
└ s
  └ 1234s01.dat

Other files, like primitives, need to be next to 1234.dat (NOT in a ‘p’ folder).

And if PartDesigner whines about other missing files, you need to quit it and restart, because it caches the contents of the folders and doesn’t update them.
