I have no clue for MAC’s, but when you copied the ldraw.xml to the location, did
you see the original ldraw.xml from the LEGO LDD install? If not search for it
and see where it is.
As far as the error you get while exporting, could be a bad XML file. In windows
I can double click the ldraw.xml file and safari opens it up. If there is an
error in the ldraw.xml file then Safari gives me some error and a line number of
the error. You can try this just to make sure it is good.
You mentioned you download Tim’s version of the ldraw.xml. This was the original
version myself and many others have used to come up with a more up to date
version. You can find that at this location and on ldraw.org site.
