It's a shame about MLCad. If it weren't for two issues I would use it 99% of the time.

Problem confirmed (ldpe 0.8.45 0.8.46). Removing the 10k colors solves the issue Sad

The new AIOI is ready for upload. This means that the:

Colour Definitions - https://www.ldraw.org/article/547.html

page has to be updated. I remember vagly that the talked about an automated process where the table reads in the content of the LDCOnfig.

@Philo, could you please generate a new Visual LDConfig picture?

The colour definitions pulls data from the server so it will auto update when the new ldconfig.ldr is added to the official parts directory on the server

Not so long after all...
What about this? https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-22204-po...l#pid33536 It could be added to "LDraw Internal Common Material Colours" section...

No problem adding it but it won't make into the current AIOI.

I had a look at:

Ryan Howerter's color list
Swooshable color chart

as well as

Rebrickable

and what Owen did for us:

LDraw Wiki

trying to figure out if we could harmonize the colors in some way with other sites. A hopeless task.

Howerter's Red - B40000
Rebrickable Red - C91A09

Owen writes: "The LEGO numbers, names and LDD colours are taken directly from LEGO Digital Designer, and are accurate as of LDD 4.3.8, Brick Version 1392. As Brickset can utilise LEGO's replacement parts system, if there is a Brickset entry available for a particular LDD colour it will be linked to via a [Image: Brickset_favicon.png] logo."

So I'm inclined to go with that. Opinions?

Substitute all current HEX in the LDConfig with LDD colours.

A legitimate concern was raised in this Eurobricks thread: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.p...nt-3141796


MLCad apparently throws errors due to ldconfig.ldr in the latest AIOI and it is not at all apparent to users what the root cause is.

This is already a known issue and we (as in LDraw.org SteerCo) have already contacted Michael about it. The cause is numbers above 512. If Michael declines to update MLCad, I’ve already made my opinion about this known in other threads.

I don't understand your decision to stay out of the discussion here. We cannot know our entire user base, so if through your contacts in Eurobricks you believed this was going to start a firestorm, your contribution here would have been most useful and may have changed the outcome.

I am not currently on my Windows machine. This is why I raised the question in this thread a while back instead of claiming anything about MLCad. Before the user report I thought the issue with MLCad was merely that these colors would show up as gray and would not be easy to use. This is what I gathered from the responses in this very thread, and given the feedback from Orion and others, I thought those arguments were valid and I stayed out of the discussion as I had no further input: My question was raised and it was answered.

It is first after I saw the post on Eurobricks that I became aware of the software breaking and refusing to start. Is this really the case? If so, then I recommend a warning to the users about this, just as suggested by the guy reporting the experience on EB.

I'm afraid to be at least partially guilty... Like Lasse said, what I tried made me think that only the rubber colors were not available, but that no other harm was done. I was wrong ?

A new AIOI containing MLCad 3.51 which solves this problem has been published.

The part 90001 (Octopus Legs) comes dual molded in solid ABS and rubber and only in one colour. Dark Purple, nowadays known as Medium Lilac (85) I cannot find an according rubber colour, only Rubber Purple (449) may come close.

Is that the right one?  [/url][url=https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=90001#T=P]
