Yeah - the reason is that all of my tools that I use after MLCad do not recognize 3023b. It is causing me, and I guess many others, issues with StudiO, 3Dpub, exports to Bricklink and just about every other tool I use.
I have both 3023.dat & 3023b in my parts files folder (image provided) yet only 3023b shows in the parts selection panel, so I can't use the old part. I just need it (3023.dat) to show in my parts panel and all will be solved... I have obviously updated my parts list too, to no effect. It really is a huge issue for me, see pics.
If you are not able can you please advise on how I can amend my parts list to change this part number, please? I just need a 3023 (not a 3023a & 3023b) to show in my select panel.. I should say I am not a power user (I'm rather too old and not exactly tech savvy to start delving too deeply into the mechanics behind the magic) so a simple procedure would be much appreciated.
If I was to put in my pennies worth, i'd have to ask why we need to cover all the different variants of parts. Is MLCad a design tool or a catalogue? If its the former, then I see no reason why physically identical parts need multiple entries. All it does is make this great tool frustrating to use with other design software.
Thanks again.
