Upcoming LDCad 1.7 Beta 1

[Roland Melkert]

I have two questions and observations that I'm unsure about:
1. Is there a shortcut or setting that allows me to toggling top-bottom or right-left or front-back while in orthographic views?

The default only has bindings for the three dimensions (s,t,f) but you can set custom ones for the 6 loose sides (as found in the the "view/editing views/view angle" menu. You can change hotkeys by right clicking the tool bar -> hotkey config. You'll vind the view angle ones in the edit window group.

2. In version 1.7, I noticed that when creating subfiles, some parts seem to get misplaced, and model names suddenly include numbers.
Here's an example of the code where this issue occurs. It doesn't happen consistently but has appeared a few times.

Code:

1 19 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1 3749.dat
0 Name: Model-6126-otherL.ldr
0 Author: Citra S {Citra S}
1 0 -20 0 0 0 1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 1 2780.dat
1 0 0 10 0 0 0 -1 0 1 0 1 0 0 32348.dat

Weird, the line above "0 name:" should only be possible if you dragged it into the source editing window. If that one ended up there during normal editing it suggests a bug indeed. Models changing name should only happen when you edited the header and you've set a name that's already used inside the mpd.

Roland, any chance official parts embedding could be implemented? (https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-27607-po...l#pid54380)

It is on my Beta 2 todo list, problem is finding the time to finish that list
