Hello Bertrand,

that converter is not creating LDraw part files (.dat files). And it is not looking into the LDD db.

The converter is reading the model files from the LDD and is creating equivalent model files in LDraw (with the help of the ldraw.xml). In both model files there are only information, where a part has to be located and how its orientations have to be. No part geometry is transferred.

I hope this answers your question.
