Hey,

a new release with dozens of fresh features and three bug fixes for Windows, Linux and Mac Smile

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:
(11 new features and 3 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

...benefit from better decimal spinner widgets.
...make use of a "Select All Types" and a "Select Nothing" menu item along with Vertices, Lines, Triangles, etc.
...use "Show All" in the context menu from the text editor
...use a shortkey to swap the BFC winding of a selection ("J" key).
...see where the distance meter starts.
...see where the protractor is fixed.
...use the selection filter to control the element types which are inserted by copy & paste
...use the selection filter to control which element types are selectable.
...see tooltips which explain that ALT+Click removes the corresponding object type from selection when you activate Vertex/Surface/Line/Subfile Mode
...benefit from better performance if you have a large number of hidden objects.
...benefit from the fact that the primitive area is reset to the top left corner on load.

The following critical issues were fixed:

Selection got cleared while using the subfile mode.
Wrong number format for the "Stud" in the unit converter.
Snap on edges: The projection was incorrect.

What will the next release 0.8.36 deliver? Select elements which producing an error in 3D editor...

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, it is still a beta version and something can go wrong in about 100.000 lines of code.

Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) (64bit or 32bit).
A short guide how to check if a 64bit JVM is installed on your system is located at the bottom of this message.

On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.

Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, this version was tested, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss.

You can search for updates if you do the following steps:

On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
On linux, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:

64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8
OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
RAM: 4GB
Video-Memory: 1 GB
Free Disk Space: 100 MB

Recommended Requirements:

Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
RAM: >4 GB
Video-Memory: >1 GB
Free Disk Space: 512 MB
For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

How to check your JVM version (32- or 64-bit):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can try on the command line:

Code:
java -d64 version

If it's not a 64-bit version, you'll get a message that looks like:
This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.
