Changes:
With the release of 1.8.84 you are able to...

  • ...visually identify which surfaces or lines belong to the model beeing edited or to a primitive/subpart (with the green "S" button in the upper left corner of the 3D editor (example image)).
  • ...press a button to run Edger2 verbose with the current settings.
  • ...set the number of open views for part review (1-4).
  • ...see the location where PartReview will store its files and "Save All" files for review.
  • ...benefit from a better button contrast on the dark UI themes.
  • ...benefit from a better contrast for the coplanarity heatmap.
  • ...benefit from an improved Edger2 performance.
  • ...show hi-quality edge lines in the OpenGL 3.3 renderer (TYPE 2 and 5).

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. Uninlining left an additional blank line after un-inlining in the target file.
  2. The ESC key reset the Manipulator when it was set by a double click on a surface before.
  3. Added a a missing border on text boxes which had a UI theme applied.

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.
