[LDPE] 1.8.73 Released (align/distribute,snap to grid, remove params, vertex pasting) - Nils Schmidt - 2023-11-01 Hey, Willy asked kindly for a feature to align and distribute objects. It is now available (Actions... => Align and Distribute...) on standard perspectives (front, back, left, right, top, bottom). I also added Max's wish to remove superfluous parameters from line types 1-5 (with a quick fix). And Magnus' wish to not select all, but just one place of a pasted vertex. There is also Philo's request to snap vertices to the grid (Actions... => Snap To Grid), only usable on standard perspectives (front, back, left, right, top, bottom) and I added a hint what the grid size value actually means (it is the grid size for 1-10% zoom). Finally, I added some improvements and fixed a small negligible bug. ![]() As always, you can download LDPE from this page: http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/ Changelog: (5 new features and 1 bug fix) With this release you will be able to...
The following critical issue is fixed:
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files. However, 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:

Otherwise I would need to snap to all three axes (x,y,z) which does not match to the displayed grid. I am not sure if this should be also supported? I can add it if I fully understand what was required.

Sorry ![]() RE: [LDPE] 1.8.73 Released (align/distribute,snap to grid, remove params, vertex pasting) - Massimo Maso - 2023-11-03 Hello Nils, I'd like to point out some oddities, they are not related to this specific version, and I don't know if they are actually intentional. - If I open a file from an external memory (typically a USB stick) the whole program slows down as if I had loaded a huge file. If I copy the same file to the internal memory (main or secondary disk) the program works normally. - If I select the connected faces with same color (Select - with same color - Connected) and cut the selection, if there is a face of a different color with all vertices in common with the selected ones, it is also cutted. If I select the same faces manually or use the Everything feature instead of Connected, this doesn't happen. - If I select the faces, in the Graph editor, in a certain order then cut and paste, in the Text editor I don't find them reordered in the order in which I selected them, but apart from the first one, the others are always in the order in which they were already in the text. - In the Text Editor, is there a way to drag one or more selected lines in order to reorder them or do I have to use the Graphic editor to put them in order in Text too?
