LDCad 1.7 Beta 1 (win+linux)

[Roland Melkert]

And how do I do that?

Create a new file alongside platesNormal.pbg named platesPat.pbg containing:

Code:

[options]
kind=filter
caption=Patterned plates
description=Plates with a print or sticker.
picture=
mascot=3024p03.dat
sortOn=description
sortDesc=false
sortCaseInSens=true
sourceInv=parts


<rules>
include category plate
exclude description ~*,_*,=*
exclude !description pattern
exclude keyword wing
exclude description without corner,clip,arm,handle,ball,petals,swirl,tooth,pin,cube,hook,engine,shoot,ladder,hole,wheel,train,extension,hinge,grill,saucer,door,raised
exclude description tail,axle,frame,socket,magnet,brick,curved,bar,cuboid,0.667,claw,exhaust,spoil,degree,offset,holder,tabs,binoculars,rail,rotor,coupling,teeth

And add a
sorted\platesPat
below
sorted\platesNormal

in the plates.pbg file

This will probably be standard in the next version.

This may be a Mac OS thing, but I've noticed a change in behavior with hotkeys (starting in the previous Alpha version). For most key bindings I have to remap CTRL to ALT in order for it to recognize my CMD key. But now with (only) the edit menu commands (copy, paste, cut, undo, select all etc.), it seems to recognize CMD as CTRL, so the remapping doesn't work.

Weird I did change some things in one of the Alpha's but far I know those only solved some problems.

If ctrl, alt and or shift is pressed comes from the wxWidgets side of things, and I did upgrade that library to the newest version. But it might also be a WINE thing. Any other mac users having similar problems?

In that folder, %appdata%/LDCad/partBin/default/sorted/ there are two files called subulba.pbg and minifirAccessory.pbg
Is the misspelling deliberate?  The spelling is the same inside these files. The figure is called s_E_bulba and shouldn't it be minifi_G_Accessory?

What are they supposed to accomplish? And, perhaps, how do I correct them?

Those are not part of the default bin, are they in one of the subfolders of sorted?

If so those are generated based on all categories in your loaded library(ies).

Maybe there are typo's in unofficial files?
