JDC Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) I am having trouble with LPub recognizing one of the assembly steps in an LDraw .mpd file. It's the step where the two sub assemblies are shown just prior to being assembled. They are separated, and have arrows showing how they get assembled. Here is the message I get: Invalid LDraw Line Type: main model.ldr:22 0 GHOST 1 72 0 0 -220 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 Multi Sheave Boom Head Left Side.ldr There are 8 pages of instructions, and the problem is when trying to render page 7 in LPub. Here is the file: http://bricksafe.com/pages/JDC/ It's called the Multi Sheave Boom Head Assembly.mpd Edited September 11, 2014 by JDC Quote
Philo Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Looks like LPUB doesn't like blank spaces in file names (at least in GHOST), I renamed all instances of Multi Sheave Boom Head Left Side.ldr to Multi_Sheave_Boom_Head_Left_Side.ldr and everything worked! More generally, blank spaces in LDraw file names is not such a good idea, some LDraw programs are fairly old and may choke on this... Quote
JDC Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Thank you, Philo. I will try that when I get home. Is renaming the sub assembly instances, so they don't have spaces, a step that experienced users always know that they have to do, or is there something in this file that I didn't set up correctly? I was using the "Working With LPub" tutorial as I created the instructions, and thought I followed all of the steps. Edited September 11, 2014 by JDC Quote
JDC Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 Philo, I had to take the spaces out of both sub assembly names for the instructions to post correctly in LPub, but now they do. Thank you for that hint. Quote
