1) Have you ever heard of LDraw? And if you have do you know what it is? Have
you ever considered using it but decided against it? If so why? Did you know the
parts are all designed by volunteers?
Yes, I have heard of L-Draw and use it quite a bit. I have it installed on both
my laptop and my desktop and own both reference books that cover the software.
I try to visit L-Draw.org every couple months to see what has been updated and
to keep up on the parts list.
2) If you are a user I’d really like to know what you use LDraw for? Do you use
it to document old models? To make instructions? To make nice pictures? To make
things you don’t have the bricks for? To design models you later build in
bricks? Other reasons?
I use L-Draw mainly when I don't have access to my physical bricks and want to
build. I travel a lot for my job so I often find myself with time on the road
where I need to relax for a bit. Sometimes I play video games on my DSi, but
often I find myself turning to L-draw to document new concepts or just as an
outlet for my creativity. Occasionally, I will also document old LEGO sets for
the Bluebrick software or do building instructions for some of my MOC's if the
mood strikes me.
I prefer L-Draw/MLCAD over LDD any day! I think that's mainly because I started
by using L-Draw/MLCAD back in 2003. I just haven't given LDD a fair trial as
L-Draw/MLCAD fills all of my needs at this time.
