Thinking about doing a LDCad 1.7 version

[Miguel Reizinho]

Both hints and selection properties are better handled in my 2.0 plans.

1.7 is a '2.0 takes to long so lets do another 1.x to fast-track some fun stuff' version   So I don't want to big changes to the way things generally work. That said I could add a simple option to not clear the hint bar when the mouse is on nothing.

The second point might be possible using a macro, but I'll have to look into that some more know for sure.

If it helps, stud.io has a "table" of parts conversion from LDRAW to Bricklink. Inside folder "C:\Program Files\Studio 2.0\data" there's a file named "StudioPartDefinition2.txt". It's a TAB delimited file with several columns with useful information including BL ItemNo and LDraw ItemNo
