Kyle, LeoCAD can NOT view .MPD files. There is NO easy way to make a .MPD file
into a .ldr/.dat file that will be viewable when done. The issue is that when
you make a .mpd file into a .ldr by taking out the
0 FILE
line from within the .MPD file the final .ldr file *MAY NOT* look like the .MPD
file you originally had due to the placement of the indivudal .ldr files within
the .MPD file?
Have I lost you yet? Read this tutorial for a summary of what a .MPD file is.

Click on "what are and how do I make MPD files".
What I suggest you do is download MLCAD since it *CAN* open and view .MPD files.
You could use LEOCAD as your primary source of building and supplement it with
MLCAD when needed to view/edit/create .MPD files.
Hope this helps you out. If not shoot me an email and I will be happy to help
you out.
