Changes:
With the release of 1.8.85 you are able to...

  • ...use primitive substitution (blue circle button at the upper left corner, ctrl-click to modify substitution quality).
  • ...benefit from a 3D grid that shows 3D model intersections and has a lager size.
  • ...benefit from inverted icons for a better contrast with dark buttons.
  • ...create a coplanar quad within the "Coplanarity Heatmap" mode.

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. PartReview had loading problems under MacOS (the 3D view was gone).
  2. (Linux/Mac) Case-sensitivity when following a reference from the text editor with a mouse click if the target file was already opened caused problems.

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.
