Changes:
With the release of 1.8.81 you are able to...

  • ...ctrl-click a subpart or prim in the text editor to open it in the 3D editor and jump straight to it (cmd-click on Mac).
  • ...use a faster way to move (G), rotate (R) and scale (S) (press G, S or R on the 3D view, press X, Y or Z to lock to an axis. Or ctrl-shift-x and so on to lock to a plane.).
  • ...calibrate a background image with a measurement (click on the new "Calibrate Background Image" button, select a line (type 2 or 5 on the image plane) and enter the new distance)
  • ...better see "empty" primitives.
  • ...get even better automatic rounding of 9999s and 0000s (e.g. for PathTruder results).
  • ...use an upgraded gizmo/manipulator (to move and scale in XY, XZ, YZ planes).
  • ...benefit from cleaned up inlined results from CSG_COMPILE.
  • ...benefit from the fact that empty tree items for hints / warnings / errors / duplicates in the text editor will be expanded when they get items to display.

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. The ldraw.org link to download the contents of categories.txt was outdated.
  2. It was possible to assign a key twice (with a newly introduced shortcut).

When you install LDPE on Windows you will find your LDPE configuration files under
drive\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\LDPartEditor.

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: 150 MB

Recommended Requirements:

  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, 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: 500 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.
