LDPartEditor 0.8.50-beta
Changes:
With the release of 0.8.50 you are able to...
- ...use a button to re-open the 3D view (if no view is shown)
- ...see a warning if you try to configure a shortcut key which can't be assigned.
- ...start the program with a broken config file (it's not a bug, it's a feature!).
The following critical issues are fixed:
- The program could break if a subfile refered to a non-existent or read-protected nested subfile in very rare cases.
- There was a critical selection problem which occured if you have tried to select a single quad, but you deactivated the selection of quads before (selection filter).
- It was problematic if the program could not read from the official and unoffical LDRAW library folder.
- It was impossible to save a file if its directory does not exist anymore.
- There was a breaking bug which could deactivate the duplication check on a single file (did not affect other files).
- Pressing the ESC key reset the (scale) snapping to an unexpected 2.00 value.
Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and JVM (64bit).
Does my JVM support 64-bit?
- Download the zip-Archive
- Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
- On windows, double-click "LDPartEditor.exe" to start LDPE.
- On linux/mac, you have to execute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
Alternatively, you can download a setup file to install LDPE on Windows.
When you install/extract LDPE on Windows you will find your LDPE configuration files under
drive\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\LDPartEditor.
It is not recommended to use the "update.bat" script when you installed LDPE via the setup file.
Manually install the new version instead.
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.
You can search for updates if you do the following steps:
- On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
- On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".
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:
- 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8
- 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 0.8.49b-beta
Changes:
With the release of 0.8.49b the following critical issue is fixed:
