LeoCAD offers to save lcd file. I assume this is the LeoCAD format, because LDView shows parsing errors when opening this file. The file->export menu offers formats 3D Studio, Bricklink, CSV, HTML, POV-Ray, Wavefront. Please guide me how to export in LDraw format.
Export to LDraw Format from LeoCAD 0.80.1

You should update to a more modern version, now LeoCAD saves (only) as .ldr! But if I remember well, with older versions, you just have to specify .ldr when you supply the file name in the "save as" dialog (or maybe there is a listbox to choose format there? don't remember precisely)

Tried the .ldr trick with no success. I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and didn't do updates for a while:
Code:
sudo apt-cache policy leocad
leocad:
Installiert: 0.80.1+svn1545b-1
Installationskandidat: 0.80.1+svn1545b-1I will go for 16.06. Thanks a lot for clarifying.

There doesn't seem to be a Linux binary package on git so you'll probably have to compile it your self if you want the latest version.
I managed to have a new version of LeoCAD in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS by downloading a debain package from here
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64...d/download
and using
to install. I now can read and write ldr format models.
Thanks for your help.
