I love working with LDraw files in MLCad, but am not able to create a .dat
file. I have tried to wrap my head around it through FAQ’s and discussion,
but I just won’t get it.
I am creating a number of farm-related custom models. I like these Bionicle
claws as the grapple for bales on my front-end loader, but I can’t complete
my instructions without the necessary .dat file. The part looks like this:
I can’t find the part in the official releases or the Parts Tracker. If it’s
around somewhere already, that would be great! If not, is anyone interested
in creating this .dat file for me? I have no idea -- What kind of time
commitment would it take to create something like this? The claws would have
to be created from scratch, as I don’t think there would be any primitives
that one could simply piece together.

If I want to pay someone to create the part for me, is it still appropriate to
post in the CAD forum or should I be posting to Marketplace?
I felt uncomfortable paying someone, since LDraw is supposed to be a community
effort. But I REALLY want to use this file and haven’t found any other way to
create it, so how about payment via Bricklink-store credit? $50 credit in my BL
store for an unofficial file that’s good enough to make decent instructions, $75
if you make an official file good enough for everyone’s use.
Again, I have no idea what kind of effort is involved, though I’m sure it’s
considerable.
