I checked the helpdesk's archive but there is no trace of your mail.

the LDraw number for 6211 is 73590b.dat - Hose Flexible 8.5L with Tabs
(Complete Assembly Shortcut) and the part is an official part since 1999.
obviously it is a straight hose also because it would be extremely difficult if
not impossible translate this into a LSynth part (beside the fact that flexible
parts vary between LDD versions - take a look at the minifig wipe and you'll
understand what I'm talkin' about).
anyway the translation for the hose is:
<!-- Hose Flexible 8.5L with Tabs (Complete Assembly Shortcut) -->
<Brick ldraw="73590b.dat" lego="6211" />
<Transformation ldraw="73590b.dat" tx="3.4" ty="0" tz="0" ax="0" ay="1" az="0"
angle="1.570796"/>
just add it to your ldraw.xml file using a text editor like Windows Wordpad and
try exporting.
bye, w.
