Hello I'm wondering is LDD to replace Ldraw ?
I hope not, so far I don't like LDD
Another question I seen the airport of 1994 in lego shop at home and I'm
wondering does LEGO company use our tools to make their pictures?
I mean do they use ldraw and pov-ray?
I hope LDRAW never becomes replaced for a program make by a company free or not.

Eduardo,
I may be speaking out of turn, and I am certainly not involved with the
governance of LDraw, but I believe they will confirm my statement below:
LEGO Designer is software that LEGO Company provides the consumer for the
purpose of fun and selling sets that you create. LDraw is an open software of
sorts that is more full featured, more expandable, and better than LDD. If those
in the community will allow, I offer an analogy. LDD is to Microsoft Paint as
LDraw is to Adobe Photoshop. That analogy will not be on an national
standardized testing, but I think my point is illustrated.
;^)

I very much doubt LDraw is going away any time soon. For one thing it has many,
many more parts than LDD including a number that will probably never appear in
LDD due to being outdates. Also the interfacing to povray and other programs
will help ensure great longevity. And that's ignoring the fact that the LDraw
editors are significantly more powerful than LDD. My conclusion is that the
LDraw system is here to stay.
I don't think Lego use LDraw and POVray. They have their own internal CAD system
and will use more expensive and user-friendly renderers. For a good example of
this look at the Batman sets.

Nice to read that ldraw will continue, I knew that, I don't believe LDD is
better and as you said ldraw has old LEGO parts :D nice 80s and early 90s,
about LEGO's cad wonder what they use anyways I believe our stuff is better.

never say never, but on this I trust them:

http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=9886
therefore - it is our choice not theirs ;-)
