(...) The modeling strategies for Solidworks and LDraw are fundamentally different: LDraw is based on triangle meshes, and Solidworks is based on constructive solid geometry. Going from CSG to mesh is easy, but going the other way requires some AI (...) (13 years ago, 26-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)

Some further progress. It turns out that I was able to convert a .DAT file to .STL with LDView & import it into SolidWorks, but it further turned out that, once I'd imported an .STL file into SolidWorks, I couldn't do very much with it. I can't mate (...) (13 years ago, 25-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)

Hi- I seem to want to do something a little bit backwards relative to what most people & most converters seem to be doing... :) I'm a die-hard SolidWorks user & wish to import LDraw .dat models into SolidWorks. I'm having some trouble. Here's what (...) (13 years ago, 24-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) AFAIK, a command-line-only version of LDView would return control back to the calling program when done, thus eliminating the need to continually poll for results. Mike (13 years ago, 27-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Sure, I'll look into it. I think it would be possible to make an error.log file or something when timeout is exceeded and write it in the file. Jaco (13 years ago, 10-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)
