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.

LDPartEditor 1.8.68

Changes:
With the release of 1.8.68 you are able to...
