Nalyd997 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Alright, I am sitting at the computer staring aimlessly at MLCAD. I don't want to take photo stream instructions as they take a lot of time. So I wanted to get into MLCAD and all the other things. Now is there a way to convert ldd to MLCAD? I am not great with these programs so I turned to all of you. I know that there are tutorials out there but I have no idea what they are talking about. I really want to make some professional looking instructions for this model that I have just made and I have made an ldd of it. Sorry if this doesn't make sense I m quite tired and eurobricks or my computer are running quite slow there is a lot of lag between keyboard to eurobricks. This took about 20 mins to type. Anyway I hope someone an help! Quote
Captainowie Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 There is a LDD/other digital tools forum that might be better placed to help you. I've never made instructions either in photo form or digitally, but I've used MLCad a lot, and I would suspect that it would be vastly quicker to do the photos. I understand that there is a way to convert LDD to LDraw, but the process is not perfect. If you "want to make some professional looking instructions", it's going to take a lot of work whether you do it digitally or photographically. If you're set on using LDraw, I'd suggest that the first step would be to have another look at those tutorials (there are some good ones here http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad-en.html) and ask some more specific question if there's anything in particular you're struggling with.

Owen. Thanks Owen those tutorials are great! I have already made a few photo stream instructions, one of which where over 500 photos long which will be released soon (in a few months). Anyway for these instructions I think a will just stick with photos. Thanks for your help! Oh and thank you too Alasdair! Edited October 7, 2014 by Nalyd997 Quote
