Advice getting started with parts authoring?

[N. W. Perry]

LDDP isn't compiled for MacOS so if you're running on WINE, I have no idea. It does, however, look specifically for whatever is listed in the parentheses on the Paths setting. If that specific file name isn't in the path, it won't work.

OK, that's all sorted—now the problem is <Cannot create file " Z: \ Untitled.lddptmp ". Access denied.> Both on startup, and when invoking LDView from within the program. (But it didn't occur before I successfully set the path search for LDView.)

J.C. Tchang mentions this same error message, so I'm guessing it's a semi-known issue?
