Parts in LDCad

[Wesley McDonald]

Instead of a fixed length shortcut, you can use a LDcad template: Top level parts bin -> templates -> misc shock absorbers. These templates can be adusted in length (use LDCad nested mode)
See http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/docs/advEdit , bottom of page.

I had the same issue. I was using non template shocks. I spent 2 days looking for the answer. Finally I registered to LDraw and looked here. Thank you Philippe.
