Hi,
I made a simple Python script, which you can download here:
http://impiaaa.googlepages.com/ldraw2bricklink.zip
that takes an LDraw model file as input and outputs BrickLink XML, which can be
pasted into a search here:
http://www.bricklink.com/storeFilter.asp
It might be useful for people who wish to build a mockup/prototype of a model in
LDraw, then order the parts to build it in real life. An alternative use is
getting your Lego Factory creations for a much cheaper price. :-)
Instructions for use:
1. Download and unzip the script.
2. Download and install Python v2.6 (www.python.org) if you haven't already.
3. Enter this into the command prompt:
python <path-to-script> <path-to-model-file>
(replace <path-to-script> with the full file path and file name of the script,
and <path-to-model-file> with the full path to the model file that you wish to
use)
4. Press return/enter.
5. Copy and paste the resulting XML into the BrickLink store search page. Press
search.
Ta-da! A list of stores with the parts you need will appear.
