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.
It was build from standard LEGO and TECHNIC parts and it is already
similar to the real one.
After that it want to convert it again to LDraw or it will have no use
at all.

(...) I think your best choice is to write Paulo and ask him if he can help you. He is apparently the one in the L-CAD group with most experience with the DXF format. Play well, Jacob ---...--- -- E-mail: Jacob.Sparre.Andersen@risoe.dk -- -- Web...: (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi! (...) Two options: 1. Compile them all into an .MPD file. See 'LDraw file splitter' at (URL). 2. Inline the referenced files into the main file. You can do this if you have LDraw Add-On. See (URL). (...) Check out question #10 in the LDraw (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
