The simplest way would be if peeron.com could serve a set inventory as an
LDraw file - then you just load the set into MLCad and rearrange the pieces.
As a side note, LDList (http://web.telia.com/~u16122508/ldlist.htm) has the
possibility to load a set description and only show those parts that are
contained in that set (not in any 'standard' format, though, it was made a
long time ago). LDList also allows you to drag a piece from LDList to any
other window that supports the LDList D&D protocol, and it will be removed
from the inventory (dragging it back adds it back to the inventory).
Unfortunately, no CAD program has implemented the LDList D&D protocol,
AFAIK.
