There was an attempt a while back to normalize the numbering system across the main part cataloging sites but (...)

(...) I beleive that this is the hardest part of the automated 'from-CAD-to-shop' process. There are so many variables, obviously element avaialability but also price and geographical location.

There is of course the option on Bricklink of uploading an XML file into your wanted list. If you could make a program that reformats an MLCad parts list into the required XML format you would be halfway there. I have tested this function with a (...)

(...) FWIW Such a tool could be used on the seller side as well. So all you'd have to do was fill the order, or like was already said, set flags according to your ToS to only fill orders of a certain size or more. There's no point in speeding up the (...)

I wrote a utility, for my own use, about two years ago that takes a .dat file and attempts to find "best" way to buy the parts via BrickLink. I'd planned to produce custom sets and source the parts for them this way. It was working well when last I (...)
