Increase timeout for sorting and auto-add steps in LDCad - Jaco van der Molen - 2022-02-16
Hi all,
I have a model of 9000+ parts for which I like to add auto-steps in LDCad.
This model is too big, so LDCad times out.
Is there a way to increase the time out? I thought I had read that before and it was discussed, but I cannot seem to find it here.
I have tried using MLCad, which can atleast sort the bricks by position, but then adding auto-steps by height, there are a lot (2500+) steps.
Also lenghtwise, ie parts at the back of the model that are the same height, get their own steps.
Or: would there be another way to add steps, after each height change (y-coordinate)
Thanks.
Jaco

Ah YES! That sure helps. LDcad made 170 steps (instead of 2578 steps good old MLCad did ;-) easily within a matter of a few seconds for my model.
Thanks!
