[lazarus71]

There is a new version of this program? or there is another program like this?

 

Thank for Answer

Yes, I tried that and if you build in Extended mode and have pieces in the wrong color it rejects your file and doesn't tell you want was wrong so you can fix it.

I get this quite often.  My lad builds in LDD with the wrong colour and then Bricklink rejects it.  I now use BOTH LDD and STUD.iO and once the LDD file is finished I import into STUD.iO to check it for errors as it has a direct backend to Bricklink.  When I get error codes come up I then replace the colours or parts as required.  Then I use the feature to UPLOAD TO MY BASEPLATE and that then lets you create a Wanted List directly.  It's a bit of mucking around and I still can't find a good solution to manage the the whole building process from design right through to order reconciliation.

After latest security hotfixes from Microsoft LDD manager is no longer working. I Think it is because VBA code is no longer allowed to execute.

I had a good method of doing this before www.rebrickable.com was redone. You used to be able to upload LDD files and alter the colors and parts and save them as private MOC's. Now they have done away with all of that do I have to find a new method. I have not had the chance to try Stud.io yet, so that is a good idea.

What exactly has changed? You can still upload LDD files in personal lists.

You can do this now with http://rebrickable.com/users/****USER****/lists/ just put your user name there. It is also under the "My LEGO" drop down as My Custom Lists.

So THAT is where it went!!! Wow! Thank you!! I was so mad when I saw they redesigned the site and I looked all over but could not find the private MOC's I had uploaded. This is great!

Thanks for letting me know. I guess it means that LDD Manager is now official dead. I'll remove the download link soon.

i know that the author of LDD Manager won't agree on this but...
has someone a backup of LDDManager125.zip file to share?
my kids have an old and offline xp desktop with ldd to build their mocs (so no security issues).
for next christmas i'll give them a universal set of about 1500 bricks choosen by me to build everything they want, the bricks are on a list on rebrickable.
i would like to build a custom palette on ldd of those bricks but doing this by hand is a nightmare...
so, if anyone is so kind to share again the ldd manager util i will thank him a lot!

Have you considered trying out the new BrickLink lego designer? They were bought out by Lego, so basically that's the official sucessor to LDD... I'm not sure it can limit designs to the parts of one set, but I know it show's when there are bricks in the design that haven't been manufactured in that colour, for instance.

the goal is to transform a list on rebrickable of bricks that we actually possess in a lxf file that will be used as a custom palette.

my plan is that my kids will build something first in the real world and then in ldd.

based on what i observed, it's frustrating for them to digitally create mocs that they can't build because they don't have the bricks, so i have to limit ldd to only a selection of pcs.

anyway, stud.io doesn't run on my kids hardware and is less user friendly than ldd.

i already found on archive.org the ldd 4.3.8 version that was the last compatible with lddmanager.

i don't know why the author choose to remove the download... to me, even a no more updated version of lddmanager may be useful in an old harware/software setup as the one we have.
