LDraw Additional-Tools-Installer 2025-02 v1 now available

[Willy Tschager]

An updated version of the LDraw Additional-Tools-Installer, in short ATI, containing 32-Bit-Programms.

This version comes with an update to MLCad 3.52, which fixes a bug caused by empty.dat on Win11. As a result some parts shrank to a tiny dot in all parts preview windows. Including the preview in the minifig generator.

You can download the ATI from:

LDraw.org >> Help >> Get Started >> Windows >> LDraw All-In-One-Installer

Many thanks to Mike Lachmann for fixing the bug quickly

Hi Willy,

Thankyou for the prompt reply, but i must be stupid or REALLY missing something.
Every link i find on the ldraw.org site to download MLCad (such as: https://www.ldraw.org/downloads-2/third-...html#mlcad), only takes me to the main page for MLCad (http://mlcad.lm-software.com/) which hasn't had an update since 2011 and only shows the latest version to be 3.40. :/

I'm happy to try 3.52, if only i could find a link to it?

Even tried the links in the AIOI... but there was no option for a newer (or ANY) MLCad, so same thing happened.

The Additional Tools Installer can't seem to find the right path, even when i choose it. I've tried /parts, /LDraw, and the folder above that, no luck.

Hi,

I just downloaded:

LDraw_Additional-Tools-Installer_2025-02_setup_32bit_v1.exe

from:

https://www.ldraw.org/article/104.html

which contains MLCad 3.52 and everything got installed into:

C:\Program Files (x86)\LDraw (32 Bit)

just fine. Even a new Parts.lst for MLCad was generated at the end of the installation process. Please post your:

C:\Windows\LDraw (32 Bit)\Setup Log.txt
