Please help: I'm new to this and can't find the parts... - Jon H - 2012-04-22 Hi, I just downloaded LDRAW and MLCAD today to try it out. A couple of questions: 1. I can't find this part when using MLCAD; http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=88930&in=S Slope, Curved 2 x 4 x 2/3 No Studs with Bottom Tubes 2. I'm not sure if I have the latest and full parts available... Here is what I think I did: The first parts list I downloaded "complete.exe" was approx 5mb (I think) and it seemed really basic. i followed the instructions and used the command prompt etc. then I downloaded another one, "complete.zip" and it was 17.1 mb approx... I think I installed it, i extracted it into the ldraw folder... it asked if I wanted to replace some files... i said yes. But the parts seem the same on MLCAD... is there another step i've missed? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Jon Re: Please help: I'm new to this and can't find the parts... - Oh-Seong KWON - 2012-04-22 Hi, I don't know which version you downloaded today. But, generally speaking, 1. You can find the file at: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/88930 - Click on '[DAT]' then you can download the file. - Put it on LDraw/parts/ folder and run mklist.exe in MLCAD or Rebuild part list in SR3D. 2. I recommend you to : - uninstall everything you have on your computer. - download and install newest all-in-one package. (find it at : http://www.ldraw.org/Article611.html ) In my opinion, if you did number 2, then everything would be OK. Good Luck KWON Re: Please help: I'm new to this and can't find the parts... - Jon H - 2012-04-22 Hi, thanks, I will try it Jon Re: Please help: I'm new to this and can't find the parts... - Tim Gould - 2012-04-22 There is a step you missed and you shouldn't need to reinstall anything. Go into your ldraw folder using the command prompt, and run "mklist -d". That will rebuild your "parts.lst" and MLCAD will then know the new parts are there. Tim Re: Please help: I'm new to this and can't find the parts... - Jon H - 2012-04-23 Thanks to both of you, much appreciated. Got it all sorted and working now.
