[LDCad] From Studio to LDCad

[Roland Melkert]

I now found out, when I go this way and export the modified part to LDCad the "inner" connectivities get lost. That means, there is no part snapping to pinholes or axleholes and so on. Part snapping to studs, axles and pins still work.

Like NW Perry wrote you need to supply shadow (snapping) information for these new custom parts.

You can do that using LDCad itself by adding LDCad shadow meta lines to the custom part. (enable part editing, see also: https://github.com/RolandMelkert/LDCadSh...IBUTING.md "Enabling part editing" section)

You probably could just copy those lines from the original part's shadow file.


Note: by default those metas are stored in seperate .dat files (shadow library) but you can also just add them to the custom parts themselves.

edit: You could also just use some grid editing Kung-fu when placing these parts
