[LDPE] 1.8.66 Released (change winding / merge / library.ldraw.org)
#1
Hey,

this version will extend the "change winding"-tool to work with lines and condlines, too.
It also corrects a "Merge to Nearest Vertex" bug. This merge function will now skip pure condline control points.
There was an important change on the LDraw library URL, too (www.ldraw.org -> library.ldraw.org).

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(4 new features and 3 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...
  • ...use the change winding tool (j) on type 2 and type 5 lines, swapping the end points.
  • ...have the "verbose" option common to nearly all tools, and be remembered between sessions.
  • ...deep inline a subfile and it will mark the end of that subfile, too.
  • ...have the CR LF at the end of a line to be included in the selection when you click on a line number.

The following critical issues were fixed:

  1. "Merge To Nearest Vertex" recognized condline control points as vertices to merge for.
  2. The LDraw library URL was outdated (www.ldraw.org -> library.ldraw.org).
  3. 3D scenes only rendered to 1/4 of 3D window in some rare cases.

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Installation on Windows:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
  2. Run LDPartEditor-1.8.66.msi
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
  2. Install ldparteditor_1.8.66-1_amd64.deb
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
  2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.66.dmg
  3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
  4. Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
        4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
        4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor

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:
  • 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.
