Hi all,

I've converted the old conversion file from LDD 1.6 (with Jason Railton's
adaptions) to LDD 2.0 format. It is far from perfect but is also far better than
what is currently available.

To install it just quit LDD 2, go to [LDD2Directory]/assets and look for the
file ldraw.xml. Back the file up somewhere and replace it by my file. When you
reboot it will offer much more substantial conversion (although a lot of pieces
will be killed by bad translation and rotation tables).

Mike Gallagher has very kindly uploaded his improved version of ldraw.xml to
http://www.lugnet.com/jump.cgi?http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikeslego/LDD/ldraw.xml
so I recommend using it.

I just uploaded my version 1.01e. This is what I have fixed and found as of
today. I’m still working on some problem ones below and I’m at a loss on what to
do if anything I could do.

If you already downloaded the 1.01A through D you will have to refresh your page
to get the LDrawMapping version="1.01e”

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikeslego/LDD/ldraw.xml

Below is my info for the ones I have been unable to get going, if any one wants
to take a crack at those I can send them the files to get started.

I will be working and testing conversions from both directions on all the rest
in the next few days.

Issues as of 070509 LDrawMapping version="1.01e”

3040B.dat will export from LDD > LDRAW. But will not import from LDR > LDD.

2412B will not load 1x2 grill

3070B or A (1x1 tile with grove will not load)

no 1x4x2 fence in ldraw [misc5a file]


no ldraw 1x1 round,  8x3 wings,

Hi Mike,

Couple of ideas for a couple of the bugs.

Issues as of 070509 LDrawMapping version="1.01e”

3040B.dat will export from LDD > LDRAW. But will not import from LDR > LDD.

Did you triy transparent and opaque?

2412B will not load 1x2 grill

3070B or A (1x1 tile with grove will not load)

Did you try 30039?

no 1x4x2 fence in ldraw [misc5a file]


no ldraw 1x1 round,  8x3 wings,

Tim

Well it took al little longer than I thought but I have all the ones done I
could figure out. Some only import or export one way, others I have no clue on
why they do not work, some do not have official LDR files yet.

But here is the updated ldraw.xml

This is the readme

Verified and made a brand new XML with only parts that are in the current LEGO
factory parts, and they must work in the conversion both ways (LDD > LDR > LDD).

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikeslego/LDD/ldraw.xml

I have not attempted to do any of the minifig stuff. And others are missing but
I did not have time tonight.
I have a few parts that will go from LDD > LDR but not LDR < LDD. I left these
out of this XML. No clue :I

Great job! Do you intend to cope with Technic parts available in MINDSTORMS
mode?

Keep on the good job ;o)

Any chance ldraw.xml supports the NXT unofficial parts that I host here:
http://philohome.com/nxtldraw/nxtldraw.htm? If not, is there somewhere an
explanation of the procedure to add new parts to the xml file?
