Hi all, With respect to (URL) this discussion> Tue Jakobsen from the LDD team sent me an email with the following text "I can confirm that the .lxf file is a zip file. When saved from LDD it will contain a small picture of the model (IMAGE100.png) (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jun-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX) !

(...) Bruce Chamberlain postulated that the problem is due to one of the 3-axle trucks being *pushed* through the curve rather than pulled. I suspect that a rubber band between the two 3-axle trucks would help - I will try that sometime. --Bill. (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look. I'll have to do some testing with zziplib to see if it will work with the ldraw.org zip files. It doesn't support all zip compression schemes, but I suspect it will work. If I need XML parsing, I'll take a (...) (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

(...) It's also not hinged to another truck; it only has to rotate around its center point. Being attached to the motor truck, the 3-axle trucks in the GG1 are being pulled a little bit off center as the wheels go into the curve, and I think that's (...)

(...) A brief update ... I got it built a while ago but only today tried putting it on the tracks. Bad news, I'm afraid. To make it work on LEGO curves, you need to remove the 4x6 tile with technic peg from the 3-axle trucks and add some tiles (...) (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the info, but I was actually aware of that. I was just trying to point out that the actions of LEGO as a company imply to me that they aren't interested in 3rd party support with LDD. --Travis (17 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

(...) I don't know either, but based on what happened before and after the original release of LDD 1.0, I'm going to have to say that I'd find it to be unlikely. Prior to LDD 1.0 being released, someone from Lego contacted a number of LDraw tool (...) (17 years ago, 15-May-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)
