MLCad parts library
The MLCad library consists of two types of
parts; a) official parts and b) unofficial parts. The difference between these
two part types is the certification process of the ldraw organization; in other
words, unofficial parts are not certified yet.
Most of my developed models do use unofficial parts, because the certification process takes significant time. The risks by using unofficial parts are: a) other MLCad users do not have all the unofficial parts I used, b) other MLCad users do have a different version of an unofficial part. Both will end up in a missing or wrong displayed part within MLcad or LDview.
If you want to have a correct reflection of my developed models, following the next two steps sequential. Do not change the order of installation!
Step
1: Install the official parts of MLCad
Download from the download section of the www.ldraw.org
website the following file: 'Ldraw Parts Library (zip
format), version 2008-1, added on 15-Feb-2009' and install only the
'parts' and 'p' directories.
Please store the files in the appropriate @:\..\ldraw\parts, @:\..\ldraw\parts\s,
@:\..\ldraw\p, @:\..\ldraw\p\48
directory.
Step
2: Install the unofficial parts I used within my models
Download from this page the 'unofficial parts' zip-file which I used for
all the models on this website. Please store the files in the appropriate @:\..\ldraw\parts,
@:\..\ldraw\parts\s, @:\..\ldraw\p, @:\..\ldraw\p\48
directory.
