(...) Not all parts that LDD have are also modeled as LDraw files. This could be one reason. There is also a file called LDRAW.XML that contains the conversion informations. Maybe you should update that file. Please see here:(URL) (15 years ago, 22-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) There should be an option 'File' - 'Export Model' and then choose the right file format 'Ldraw-Files (*.ldr)' and you have what you are looking for. That is what I do in my version 2.3.19 of LDD. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 21-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

I've seen the tutorial at LDraw.org about imprting an LDraw file into LDD, but can the opposite be done? I'd like to open an LDD file in order to make a decent render with LDView. Jetro (15 years ago, 21-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
