(...) Sorry about that, the program may only work with the geometry so all the parts/primitves would probably need to be inlined. It also may need to have a DAT extention rather than MPD. (15 years ago, 11-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

The materials are imported properly into Blender, but whether they would be exported as .obj is a guess on my part. Materials are better in this case, not textures. As for Blender being a "pig" program, it's a 9MB download that is completely free, (...) (15 years ago, 10-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

You could import the files into Blender3D and export them to .obj format. It probably won't look very pretty though. -Stefan- (15 years ago, 10-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
