LDraw.org 2023-02 Parts Update Now Available

[Max Murtazin]

Hey there, I started using Studio 2.0 a few months ago and I just noticed there were parts updates here, so I clicked the "Download .exe" option to "download the Windows installer for the complete library" and I managed to do everything as expected, but I just don't know where to paste/move the folder named "%CommonDocumentsFolder%". I thought I would have to replace something in Studio 2.0 files with that. I need help ;(

This is Studio 2.0's directory (system language is Portuguese (Portugal))


And these are the contents of the highlighted folder named "ldraw", which I thought I had to replace with the similar named folder within "%CommonDocumentsFolder%"


Here is "%CommonDocumentsFolder%" in Downloads, the "LDraw" folder inside and respective contents

Hi! Bricklink Studio works in a way that doesn't allow adding parts into it's main library without a hundred extra steps. What you can do is add parts to the Custom Parts library:
1. Go to %localappdata%\Stud.io\ and check if you have CustomParts folder. If not, create it
2. Copy folders p and parts from LDraw complete library (if you have installed it with installer, should be C:\Users\Public\Documents\LDraw) to the %localappdata%\Stud.io\CustomParts
3. If you want to also add unofficial parts, copy everything from LDraw\Unofficial\p to %localappdata%\Stud.io\p and from LDraw\Unofficial\Parts to %localappdata%\Stud.io\parts)

Thing is, you will only have LDraw parts themselves in your Custom Parts Studio library, without any connectivity. If you want to add that, you need to do it manually using Bricklink Part Designer (it is on the stud.io)
