Post: Re: LDRAW and LDD to SolidWorks, Inventor and DXF

I was pretty upset to read this myself. I mean, do you have any idea how much work and research went into these projects? Let alone all the work others do in creating the source content, the bricks....

Future plans are for SolidWorks anyway to sniff out studs, and create them as cylinders, and possibly apply textures as decals to the SolidWorks models.
