MLCAD Install  . MLCAD is a (freeware) graphical interface for a (freeware) draw package named LDraw. Since the interface and the draw package are supported by two different groups, the installation files have to be downloaded from two different sites. Furthermore, the LDraw group uses a third product to update the LEGO parts available in the package with new contributions that are accepted for inclusion in the package. You can start with the MLCAD home page, but here are all of the downloads: MLCAD (zip file containing the MLCAD interface) ldraw027.exe (LDraw draw package) complete.exe (adds latest parts) MLCAD requires the following system capabilities: Windows 95 or later 512Mb hard disk space (1Gb recommended) 32Mb RAM (64Mb recommended) Install procedure: First install LDraw Save your downloaded ldraw027.exe file in your C:\ directory or in the location you want the \ldraw\ directory to be created [it is strongly recommended that you save it directly to your C:\ drive (not under any directory), because ldraw027.exe creates a directory \LDRAW underneath the directory where the install file is located; ie., this will automatically create C:\LDRAW as your LDRAW directory]. Save complete.exe to the same location as ldraw027.exe on your hard drive. To install LDraw, click the Windows Start button and enter "cmd" to get a command window. Execute "cd \" to get to the root of C and execute ldraw027.exe -y A dialog will pop up, displaying the extraction of the necessary files as they occur. When the install is finished, repeat with complete.exe -y which will update the parts inventory to include the latest parts data. Finallize the parts list by running cd ldraw mklist.exe When asked to sort by number or by description, is it recommend that you key in 'D' for Description, When the program has finished, close the window. Install MLCAD Unzip your MLCAD download to your LDRAW directory. Make sure this directory contains a PARTS.LST file!
