For example... LeoCAD is exporting lines like this:

1 7 20.00 0.00 270.00 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00 3031.DAT

But I'm told that the line should really look more like this:

1 7 20 0 270 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3031.DAT

Both lines are equally valid.

In other words, without all the .00 values after the numbers.  This seems to
sometimes cause problems when trying to run the LeoCAD version of the file
through LPub.

That's an error in LPub then.

Any thoughts on this?  Any reason why LeoCAD exports values in this manner?

Probably because it:

  1) is easier to do
  2) makes the files easier to read for a human

Play well,

  Problems exporting from LeoCAD to LDraw .dat format  [DAT]
 
I'm hoping someone can help. I've recently started working in LeoCAD. After trying MLCAD, I just find I like LeoCAD better. Just my preference, nothing wrong with MLCAD. :) However, in trying to export models/instructions to the LDraw .dat format (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.leocad)
