Has anyone gotten the import function of 3DWin to import .dat files?
Everytime I try it I get a "Nothing to Import" message. Suggestions?

Ben,
I have got it to work, but I don't know what I did. I have to say after
loading the resulting 3ds file I was dissapointed by the results. What
file format are you converting to? If it is 3ds I would strongly suggest
using the export file feature of LeoCAD to do it. The results are much
better. The part library for LeoCAD is not as up todate as LDraw and
others but if your model doesn't have alot of new parts this is the way
to go. I'll take a look at it later tonight and respond again.

Why do you say that ? If you downloaded all updates, you'll see that
LeoCAD has more parts than LDraw.

Really? I think I have the latest update, and I noticed that the new Star wars
engine pieces are not available as well as the Tie canopy.

Do you mean part #30372 ? I've checked and it's there. There was an
updated about 1 week after the LDraw parts update, did you download it ?

Which version? I have used 3DWin ver.3.5, and at least imported the 'car.dat'
(the car that comes with LDRAW). My problem was that I could never get it to
import/export the color/transparent properties of pieces, so it's a lot of
work to really use the result.
Have you set up the path to LDRAW parts etc. in the 'Options' for importing
LDRAW in 3DWin?
