For Beginners: LDCad 1.5 Part Bins for EV3 Education 45544-1, Part 2 of 6
Each folder under "partBin" needs a "root.pbg" file.
Looking at "root.pbg" in the "Walt's Parts" folder, note the "picture=Me2.png" image reference which was used by LDCad 1.5 to associate this folder with a recognizable image in the screen shots above as specified in the "sysRoot.pbg" file.
The "root.pbg" file is shown below. Note an important difference between this "root.pbg" file and the "sysRoot.pbg" file shown above: sysRoot.pbg <items> are folders, while root.pbg <items> are someName.pbg filenames without the ".pbg" extension. The fact that there is a "45544-1-sorted" sub-folder is of no concern to this "root.pbg" file. It's only looking for ".pbg" files to process.
The LDCad 1.5 result of this "root.pbg" file is also shown. Each of the "root.pbg" <items> has an image using the same name. There's an image "EV3-EDU.png" of an EV3 brick and LDCad 1.5 found a part bin group "EV3-Edu.pbg", so LDCad floats a down arrow over the image. Same with "45544-1-sorted.png" and "45544-1-sorted.pbg." Edit note: since original posting, I added a third part bin group so there is an extra image.
For our first goal of a single part bin with all the parts in one bin, EV3-Edu, we are done with the folder configuration work. The contents of "EV3-Edu.pbg" finishes that first goal as shown in Part 3 next.
