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,

This is all very promising. There seems to be significant gaps in the available parts, but the conversion from .ldr to LDD format was really quite fast and painless.

The creating sets for downloading and buying aside, is it possible to set it up with a more complete set of parts? It seems to default to the ‘My Trains’ pallette, but I can see definite value in a less restrictive pallette, if only for play value.
