It certainly claims to. However, if so, it’s really well hidden.

Just drop your ldraw models into your “My Documents/LEGO Creations/Models”
directory and then open LDD and click on the model in the open dialog (it will
have a yellow brick as an icon).
To export them append .ldr to the model when saving the model in LDD.
Note that it only works with offical ldraw parts at the moment and will drop
bricks it doesn’t know about during the conversion so always keep a backup in
the original format.
Hope that helps,
