Please uninstall any previous version of LDPartEditor.

Changes:
With the release of 1.8.54 you are able to...

  • ...use installers of LDPartEditor for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (without the need to install Java)
  • ...see more digits (at least 4 decimal places) on the protractor and the distance meter.

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. "Set X/Y/Z (for Selection)" loaded always the vertex from the clipboard if there was one vertex stored in it.
  2. Outdated UI libraries for Mac OS X were updated.

Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, this version was carefully tested and developed, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss.

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.
