LDCad lost colors

[Michael Horvath]

Today I opened some MPD files but they are totally gray.



Did I make a mistake somewhere?

Thanks!

That only happens when LDConfig.ldr can't be read/found. Did anything change in regards to the LDraw library (2014 update?).

Also the log file (in subdir logs) should tell if something went wrong during loading.

You could also try resetting the library dependencies by deleting the '<LDrawPaths>' and '<LDrawMaterial>' sections in config/main.cfg

You are most likely right when it comes to the LDraw library. I probably moved or reinstalled the library when I added my new hard disk and moved some programs around.

But I looked and could not find "config/main.cfg" or "logs". Where should I look?

[Roland Melkert]

If you used the setup it should be somewhere like:

C:\Users\Roland\AppData\Roaming\LDCad

if you used the archive it's in the same folder as the main executable.

That worked, thanks.
