Hi Mike.

I’m writing a small program focused on LEGO Digital Designer users, planning to add more features.
Main functions of program are:
* build a catalog of owned bricks and sets
* check a LDD MOC project against your own catalog of bricks to see if you can build the MOC
* export a list of brick in XML format to buy them on Bricklink.

One feature I wish to add will be the capability to import LDraw MOC files and use it.

I ask permission to include a function for read your ldraw.xml and use the equivalences in it, to enable users to import LDraw MOC files without using LDD for file conversion.


PS: I checked briefly your file, and I see that you made the brick 1x4 (ldraw id 3010) converts in LDD part id 3066. I think it is better to convert to LDD part id 3010:
LDRAW <->  LDD
3010 <->  3010 brick 1x4 with bottom tubes
3066 <->  3066 brick 1x4 without bottom tubes (usually for transparent colors)


Thank you.

As far as I know, personal use or non-commercial you can use. And I know other LDraw apps use it.


Thanks for the parts info, will look into it for next update,


Mike
