[LDPatternCreator] Primitive mode not working - Chris Böhnke - 2024-01-26
Hello everyone,
I need to place a disc+ndis primitive on a 3626b head.
I tried doing this by Add Primitive [F7] > LDraw Primitive > Circular Disc Sector > 4-4disc.dat
The 'Set primitive origin' dialogue appears and I can select some point (the disc's midpoint I assume?) but as soon as I click, the dialogue disappears and nothing happens at all.
I tried to reset my LDraw path, reinstalled the latest version (1.7.3), but nothing changes.
Forum and Google search yielded no answer, but the implication that you can place primitives in that way (?).
What am I doing wrong?

Some screenshots of the settings would help.

I suspect LDPC can't find my primitives folder. Is there some kind of test file (containing a primitive) I can load up to test this?

It is working now, thanks.
The issue was indeed a wrong path setting.
