My LDraw text generator, txt2dat has been updated. The new version can be found here.

Enjoy!

My LDraw text generator, txt2dat has been updated. The new version can be found here.

Changes in this version:

1. Font file now optional – will use the internal font from LDraw 1×1 bricks.
2. Fixed bug in checking for non-existent characters.

Also, the font file used for the default internal font is included in the source distribution as a TrueType font file. The font was created from the LDraw 1×1 bricks with letters, originally authored by Tore Eriksson. It only contains space, digits 0-9 and upper case A-Z. Lower case a-z are mapped to their upper case equivalent, all other characters will be ignored.

Duane Collicott is progressing on a nice looking cable-stayed bridge, you can read more about it here.

One day I should probably try a proper big suspension bridge, but I want to be able to use it in our train layout, so it will require a fair amount of planning, and probably multi-level tracks. Oh well, one day…

OK, so I admit until I installed this BLOG I had never heard of trackbacks and permalinks. But since I now have, I thought I’d give it a try, by pinging Jake’s explanation of the Engineer Max minifig. And to let Jake know that whatever he thinks, WE all know he designed Max in his image 😉
