You might use LeoCAD to convert the parts you can't read to .3DS or .OBJ • and

keep in mind that MAX2DAT goes *from* 3DSMAX *to* LDraw... i wrote it so that
i could model the elements in MAX, but convert them for use in LDraw.. it
sounds like this person is looking to import .Dat files *into* other CAD
proggies...

My interpretation is that he wants a program that will convert from .DXF
back into .DAT.  I think this would be a neat thing to have, since I am
more adept at programs such as AutoCAD than I am at LDraw. I do think it
would be difficult though.

It would be great for modeling new parts, but I don't think it would be
feasible to use it for making models.
