Take any LDD 2.0 file and change it's extension from .lxf to .zip.  Unzip it

Sure, I understand and not surprised you already knew this.  I just thought
maybe Harry (or others reading the post) may not be aware of it.

But, since you replied...  Any chance of LDView reading and rendering from LXFML
in the future?  I'm thinking this would be very handy for folks who want to
write quick and dirty apps to manipulate the XML but don't have the skills to do
the rendering.  They can concentrate on playing with the XML and use LDView to
view the results of their manipulations.

Just a thought.

Thanks!
