LDCad 1.7 Beta 2b (win+linux) - Roland Melkert - 2026-03-15
I've released LDCad 1.7 Beta 2b.
This version fixes three bugs:
- Part snapping not working when using an unpacked library.
- Potential crash during part editing combined with include meta's.
- Potential dead lock (program hangs) during mass file close.
It also includes the latest shadow library as found on github.
As always you can get the latest version at:

Thanks Roland. I use LDCad daily and really appreciate your work on it.

In the new part bin I am missing some parts that were available in previous releases of LDCad:
Category Sorted | Technic | Connectors and Pins
- Technic Axle Pin (3749.dat)
- Technic Axle Pin with Friction with 2L Axle (17651.dat)
- Technic Axle Pin with Friction with 2L Pin (11214.dat)
- Technic Axle Pin without Friction with 2L Axle (65249.dat)
- Technic Axle Pin with Friction (43093.dat)
and some other parts with keyword "axle".

Someone mailed me about this problem just a couple of days ago.
It seems my attempt to declutter has resulted in some unintended excludes.
I will address this in the next version, but you can also fix it yourself thanks to the new part bin filter group editor.
Like so:
While the 'connectors and pins' group is visible in the part bin open its menu and select 'edit'
This will open a dialogue that lets you edit the pbg.
In its rules section add ",axle pin" to the line starting with "keep" so it reads:
keep description axle towball,axle pin
Then click accept, this should readd your missing parts.

This fix worked for me. Thanks!
