	MLCAD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MLCAD (Mike's LEGO Computer Aided Design) is a powerful, yet easy to use virtual modeling program designed specifically for use with LEGO parts.
		MLCAD is available for Windows and Linux (Mac users see Bricksmith or Mac Brick CAD), and includes support for English, German, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Czech, French, and Spanish.
		MLCAD download and installation - Download the zipped file containing the latest version of MLCAD from this page and unzip it into the LDraw root directory (any place will do, but this is the recommended location).

	Holly-Wood.it - MLCad - Easy Rotation Tutorial
		This tutorial is based on MLCad 3.11, takes for granted that the program is running smoothly and that you are a little familiar with it.
		Open the LDraw file Dumper.ldr in MLCad and zoom in 'til the rear of the dumper is well visible in the panes.
		To take advantage of MLCad's behavior, which sets the rotation point of the first selected part as rotation point for the rest of the selection, you have to select the helper part first.

		I hope that MLCAD runs correctly and that the installation of LDraw is alright as well.

	Lowlug :: Bekijk onderwerp - MLCAD of LeoCAD?
		Ik moet zeggen dat MLCad nog wel redelijk vlot werkt met grotere modellen, m'n model is nu bijna 4000 onderdelen groot en staat toch redelijk snel op het scherm als ik de tekening pak waarin alle sub-models samengevoegd zijn tot 1 geheel...
		Verder gebruikte MLCad het standaard LDraw bestandsformaat en LeoCad een eigen bestandsformaat.
		Ik heb ondertussen wel MLCAD gedownload maar nog niet getest dus ik weet nog niet wat beter is.

		MLCAD - Lego CAD software available free from www.lm-software.com/mlcad/, installation could be easier, however MLCAD makes great use of the regularly updated LDraw parts library and MLCAD features some excellent model generators (wizards).
		Working with MLCAD does take some patience to begin with as you become familiar with the working environment and part names.
		A useful resource to compliment MLCAD is the Lego set inventory website, peeron.com.

		So MLCAD, being a LEGO CAD program, is a program for designing LEGO models all with just a computer (yes, that means an infinite number of pieces).
		I've worked with MLCAD enough to be able to whip out a simple model (100 pieces or so) in fifteen to twenty minutes.
		I have downloeaded ldraw and MLCad sucsesfuly, but when I try to run MLCad, it pops p with the invalid path eror, but there isn't any "browes" button.

		Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass MLCAD läuft und LDraw richtig installiert ist.
		MLCAD arbeitet in 2 verschiedenen Modi, wie auch ein richtiges Legomodell aus 2 Teilen besteht.
		Damit MLCAD das Modell drehen kann, muss es natürlich wissen, wann dies geschehen soll und in welche Richtung gedreht wird.

		Second-there is some new information in here, even for long time users of MLCad like me. LSynth is amazing--MLCad users will be very happy to be able to finally include all of those flexible elements into their model files.
		I have a feeling this will be extremely useful in our competitions, as we plan on documenting our robots in this manner and giving our competitors in the competitions the plans for our robots AFTER we have defeated their robots smile, as well as posting them to our club's website.
		The ability to manipulate our virtual robots on our computer screens in Mlcad after we have "built" them is neat and adds an element of "what if" to our building, but it can't compete with playing with the real bricks.

		MLCAD can play back your assembly showing you all the parts added before each step.
		When MLCAD is playing back construction steps, it draws the parts from previous steps darker than parts from the current step to make it easy to tell which parts are new to the current step.
		MLCAD is the property of Micheal Lachmann who has so wonderfully devoted his talents to the LEGO Community.

		One of the problems of CAD programs like MLCAD and LDraw is that you can put the LEGO pieces in the wrong places which you cannot when you are building with the actual LEGO pieces.
		Everyone seemed to be doing his/her own thing and more interested in presenting and showing off their own solutions rather than working out a solution as a whole group.
		MLCAD is great especially when using the mutlimodel.

		There are some very interesting multi-control input devices (like the space-ball) used in professional CAD software, but sadly none of them are compatible with MLCad.
		MLCad has an option to sort peices by their height - this may help with simple models - but is not a great deal of use with complex mechanisms.
		If you have neglected to do this when inputting the whole model, then ensure you create a new version before adding the steps in later.

		At first I told myself that I'd model the whole thing in MLCAD and end up with a virtual Enterprise to match my actual Enterprise.
		Every deck plan on the graph paper has little red dots where the anchors are located, and I even inserted virtual posts into MLCAD so that I'd know where to place each new deck.
		By the time I was up to floor 36 - that's the engineering deck, and the point where the warp nacelles are attached - I had completely run out of the gray Legos I needed.

		As for MLCad, I was spoiled by creator in a way where the parts "snapped" together.
		With MLCad, I had a heck of a time lining up the parts, and went back and totally redid my grids till they made sense.
		It's true that MLCAD is very much "do it by eye", but it's a minor drawback, you can still do a lot with it, though I've often wondered if you made a bunch of TECHNIC parts in Inventor could you hook them together and make them move?
