LXF to Part List to Wanted List

[dolittle]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out what is the "quickest" way to take an existing LXF, convert it to a Part List, which I can then feed to X (don't know what), I assumed Peeron/Basebrick/etc, which will tell me which parts I have and which I lack in a semi-automatic/automatic manner.

I am sure people in this forum have much more experience than I do in this department.

Thanks,

Noam

At least I know that .lxf files are zip files. Rename lxf to zip and you can open it with winzip etc.

It contains 2 files:

image100.png

image100.lxfml

First one is a image of the creation and the last one contains all the data.

.lxfml contains rows like:

<Part refID="2" designID="32524" materials="26">

DesignID? Is it a part number?

material? Color ID?

If you search bricklink catalog with that number, result is Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 Thick.

Someone who has created a .lxf file could easily compare the file data with the "real data".
