Changes:
With the release of 1.8.66 you are able to...

  • ...use the change winding tool (j) on type 2 and type 5 lines, swapping the end points.
  • ...have the "verbose" option common to nearly all tools, and be remembered between sessions.
  • ...deep inline a subfile and it will mark the end of that subfile, too.
  • ...have the CR LF at the end of a line to be included in the selection when you click on a line number.

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. "Merge To Nearest Vertex" recognized condline control points as vertices to merge for.
  2. The LDraw library URL was outdated (www.ldraw.org -> library.ldraw.org).
  3. 3D scenes only rendered to 1/4 of 3D window in some rare cases.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:

  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 100 MB

Recommended Requirements:

  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 512 MB
  • For a faster start, the LDraw™ library should be installed on a SSD.

PS: I am still busy with the creation of the manual, so you "have to experiment" with my (complex) software product until you've got the manual.
