I am trying to add stickers/decals on my model using mlcad, but I can't figure it out.

Does anybody know how I can add them?

You have to create the stickers as LDraw parts. The tool of choice for that is Ldraw Pattern Creator. There is a documentation (automatic translation from French) here.

You need:

Sticker:

1. "ColerDraw" to greate the original stcker (export a BMP 256 Colors)
2. Stickergenerator: to greate with the BMP the first sticker file (.DAT)
3. MLCAD: Take the first sticker in the Model
4. MS Text Editor: to adjust the first sticker in the model. Copy the adjust Info int to an TXT File.
5. LDDesignPad; open the txt file to scale the sticker in the right size (rmark it - right klick -  Line Part) so you have the TXT as second , new and rigt sized sticker file (delete the first and rename the fil ednding in to DAT or LDR)

Sticker shapes

1. You then need the surface of the part on which the sticker is to be bent
2. Follow the Step 3-4 just withe the Part (without delete the original Part).
3. open the file delete all areas and lines that you don't need to get the surface
4. Letgui - SlicerPro: to shape the Sticker an surface with second sticker and the surface.
