[LDCad] Stringstuds

[N. W. Perry]

Hi,

Ya, I'm not sure how i created a subfile/session. I attempted to double-click into the subfile/session and copy/paste. No effect. I also attempted to copy/paste the parts while in the subfile/session, delete the session (bad idea), and paste the parts into main. Couldn't recover the work i did. Luckily I didn't save. I suppose my next question is there another way to copy the work you do in a subfile/session and move it into main? 

Thanks for your time,

Yeah, I could cut or copy the parts, but not paste them into the main subfile, as Roland explains below. Normally you'd be able to move parts from a subfile to the main file, the issue here is just that the subfile is a flexible part, so you're copy/pasting two different types of code.

Hand-editing the .mpd file is probably the quickest way to fix it. It may seem intimidating at first, but actually it can be very helpful because you can see right away what you're changing and how it relates to what LDCad does. Just make a duplicate copy to practice editing, and if something goes wrong you can always revert to your original and re-build the model in LDCad instead.
