[HelpDesk] Ldraw missing parts error

[Jedi]

Hello Luis, 

The errors that MLCAD is giving you is because it can not find some of the LDraw parts in your parts library that it thinks it should have.  This error can occur for 2 reasons: 1) you are missing LDraw parts or some of the sub-parts or 2) the parts list that MLCAD has is incomplete or looking in the wrong place.

Lets focus on #2 first since that is the easy fix and usually corrects the problem.

Look at the very bottom of this article:
http://www.ldraw.org/Article101.html
How Do I Add LDraw Parts To My Library? (Method 2: MLCad)

To ensure that the PARTS LIST file is ok.  MLCAD will rebuilt it based on all the parts you have.

Now if this still gives you errors then you are actually missing parts!  No biggie you just need to redownload them.

Once you have done the installation have MLCAD recreate the parts list as shown above.

I had MLCad on a previous laptop and it worked fine. Since I got a new
 laptop and installed MLCad on it, everytime I try to enter into a list
 of parts, I get an error stating that "File x-yedge.dat" not found!
 Continue loading?". The x is usually the nuber 3 but the y changes
 depending on whether I go into the pllates or bricks or train list, etc... It
 seems as though I am missing something that makes up various parts.
 I've tried twice to unistall and install again but I get the same error.
 Can you please help me figure out what's wrong? Thank you.
