1.8.55 Beta Released (bugfixes / invisible subparts / usability) - Nils Schmidt - 2022-04-26 Hey, this version fixes many bugs and supports "invisible subparts". It is not required to uninstall the previous LDPartEditor version, before installing version 1.8.55. LDPE uses now a very modern technology stack and does not need a Java installation anymore. As always, you can download LDPE from this page: http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/ Changelog: (3 new features and 9 bug fixes) With this release you will be able to...
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files. However, it is still a beta version and something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code. Installation on Windows:
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:

If I inadvertently fix errors in X or Z directions the underlying geometry gets scaled/distorted. - Hidden "empty" subfiles are not marked empty in text editor, even though the materialization vertex in 3D editor is properly hidden.

If I inadvertently fix errors in X or Z directions the underlying geometry gets scaled/distorted. I created issue #897 for the next release. Quote:- Hidden "empty" subfiles are not marked empty in text editor, even though the materialization vertex in 3D editor is properly hidden. That is actually a feature. If you select a single vertex, it will activate "Single Vertex Modification" and show everything in text editor while it is active (regardless if it is hidden). The idea behind this is that the user might want to see where the vertex is used, even if that usage is hidden in the 3D view. Quote:...and completely unrelated: is it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to line to condline and condline to line conversion functions? What keyboard shortcut do you want to have? :) (it is not possible yet) RE: Warnings for "empty" subfiles / shortkey wishes / unexpectly shown lines - Philippe Hurbain - 2022-04-28 (2022-04-27, 20:41)Nils Schmidt Wrote: That is actually a feature.

But I was in subpart selection mode, not in vertex selection mode! Quote:What keyboard shortcut do you want to have? (it is not possible yet)let's say shift+C for C2L and shift+L for L2C. I guess it will be possible to personalize afterwards RE: Warnings for "empty" subfiles / shortkey wishes / unexpectly shown lines - Max Murtazin - 2022-04-28 (2022-04-28, 6:56)Philippe Hurbain Wrote: I reckon that. But I was in subpart selection mode, not in vertex selection mode! I think it should be reversed. Makes a bit more sense when key stands for result, not for target RE: Warnings for "empty" subfiles / shortkey wishes / unexpectly shown lines - Philippe Hurbain - 2022-04-28 (2022-04-28, 7:14)Max Murtazin Wrote: I think it should be reversed.
