Greetings,
LPub3D 2.0.16 is released.
You can download this release from sourceforge.net or check for updates in your existing installation.
Change Log:
LPub3D 2.0.16.858.2
Features and enhancements
------------
Fix: Prompt to download LDraw archive when archive not provided (r856)
* When a portable distribution of LPub3D (e.g. when distributed in AIOI) does not include the LDraw archive libraries, LPub3D will prompt the installation user to download or select the LDraw library archives if they are not detected. This update allows portable distributions of LPub3D to exclude the official and unofficial LDraw library archive files. Note that if a portable distribution includes only the official LDraw library archive (complete.zip), LPub3D will automatically build the unofficial library archive (lpub3dldrawunf.zip) file from content in the LDraw\unofficial directory; however, subdirectory parts and p will be ignored so the created unofficial library archive will NOT contain the default unofficial library parts and primitives. To fully update the unofficial library archive file under this scenario, select Tools/Refresh LDraw Unofficial Parts from the LPub3D menu bar to update the lpub3dldrawunf.zip with the latest unofficial parts and primitives.
Fix: Cover page attributes displayed outside of page (r853)
* Page attributes placed outside of page when displaying individual attributes. Attributes on both front and back cover pages were experiencing this behaviour. The behaviour is now corrected. Refer to features and enhancements for LPub3D 2.0.11.816.2 to review additional details on manipulating page attributes.
Fix: Refresh open model file when preference changes (r852)
* Refresh open model file when "display all page attributes" and "generate cover pages" preference settings have changed.
Fix: Unable to create a new line in text items - e.g. Model Description (r851)
* It is now possible to split text in text boxes and all editable page attributes - e.g. model description, LEGO disclaimer etc... When you select a text item, the cursor is placed at the very beginning of the dialogue. Use your arrow keys to move the cursor to the desired position of the dialogue.
To split a line simply hit the "enter" key on your keyboard. It is also possible to create a new line by inserting inserting the newline characters \n.
One can also add "quoted texts" in test items. Just like adding a new line, simply type " before and after the content you wish to quote. It is not necessary to enter an escape character \ but entering an escape character before the \" is also supported.
Fix: The step number is slightly off of the page when using default settings (r850)
* Page header and footer width is now matched with the size and orientation of the displayed page. One can also change the "Relative To" settings from header/footer to page using the context menu/Move Step Number dialogue. For example, the step number on single step pages default placement is relative to the invisible page header - which can be managed in the page setup dialogue. Alternatively, step number placement on a single step page can be set relative to the page using the context menu as described earlier.
Fix: Page movable and selectable in the graphics scene (r849)
* Page is now fixed and cannot be selected within the graphics scene.
Fix: Drag and drop model file (r848)
* Open model file using drag and drop. Note that only one file at a time can be opened so dragging and dropping multiple files will only open the first file in in the list of selected files.
Cheers,
