Hi! :-)

Hi!

1.

I've built a model from other parts, including other half-finished
models of my own.
Now I find out that my DAT file makes reference to those and I cannot
split them.
I do I integrate the other models DATs into the finished model?

Two options:

1. Compile them all into an .MPD file.  See 'LDraw file splitter' at
<http://fys.ku.dk/%7Esparre/LEGO/V%E6rkt%F8j/index.en.html>.

2. Inline the referenced files into the main file.  You can do this if
you have LDraw Add-On.  See <http://home.att.net/~blisses/ldaddon.html>.

2.

I would like to export the DAT into other CAD/3D software.
I'm specially interested in Corel Draw or TruSpace, but AutoCAD and 3D
Studio also may do.
Is there any tools that can export this?
I've found a DAT 2 POV converter, but that format is unknown.

Check out question #10 in the LDraw FAQ.  The FAQ is at
<http://fys.ku.dk/%7Esparre/LEGO/V%E6rkt%F8j/LDraw-FAQ.html>.  Paulo
Caparica Jr. has made a DAT-to-DXF converter.

(...) Sorry, I'm a newbie in this LDraw stuff... What if later I want to convert it back to LDraw format? I mean, my model is in fact a new piece - the 8482 LEGO TECHNIC CyberMaster PBrick - and I want to use some CAD to make it look a bit better. (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
