based on this script 

i improved it for creating a .ldr template from peeron.com online database

we just need to enter something like 

sdlBrt templatefrompeeronwebsite.sdlbas 293-1

and then the script downloads the respective peeron.com webpage ( http://peeron.com/inv/sets/293-1 in this case - i'm only using peeron for now, it seems far easier for extracting information ), extracts the parts inventory information from there, creates a .ldr file, and opens LeoCad with that

curl (for downloading the webpage, weirdly wget doesn’t work) and grep (for "cleaning" the html page) are needed as dependency (on Ubuntu and Debian, grep comes preinstalled, curl needs to be installed, like from "sudo apt install curl") - cat and rm are very known gnu-tools! ;)  

model$="210-1" '- default model used when no model is added in the command line argument
if argv(2)<>"" then: model$=argv(2):end if
shell("curl http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/"+model$+" > tmp1.html")
shell("cat tmp1.html | grep td | grep href | grep part > tmp2.html")
shell("rm tmp1.html")
finp$="tmp2.html"
function lstinf$(a$,b$,c$)
    adra=1:adrb=1:blngt=len(b$):d$=""
  while adrb<=blngt
     if mid$ (a$,adra,1)=mid$ (b$,adrb,1) then:adrb+=1:end if
     adra=adra+1
   end while 
  while mid$(a$,adra,1)<>left$(c$,1)
     d$=d$+mid$(a$,adra,1):adra=adra+1
   end while
     lstinf$=d$
 end function
fout$=model$+".ldr"
open finp$ for input as #1:open fout$ for output as #2
dst=100:vamt=0

  wend
close #1:close #2
shell("rm tmp2.html")
shell("leocad "+model$+".ldr")

of course the script needs to be improved a lot! :D - but it is really a "productivity booster" for me, and all lego-cad developers are welcome on including it (or something like or far better than it! :D ) as feature or plugin, since the result is really a huge time saver! ;)

I've added something like that (using Rebrickable instead of Peeron), just go to File->Import->Set Inventory. A few parts aren't imported correctly since their IDs don't match, I've contacted Rebrickable and they told me they will provide a conversion table in the future.

A conversion table? Rebrickable already has an extensive (although probably not 100% complete) mapping between Rebrickable, Bricklink and LDraw numbers. If you use the API you can get LDraw part numbers for a specific part.

That statement is true but the API for this is not usable in its current form to convert an entire model. To get the LDraw ID from a Rebrickable ID you need to do 1 API query per part, so we'd need to send a few hundred queries for some models, at a max rate of 2 queries per second I believe.

Unless I'm missing something, the only way I found to convert a part is to use http://rebrickable.com/api/v3/lego/parts/3005/

Is it possible to create something like this for a bricklink xml file?

Would be nice if that was possible to :) 

If you use LDCad you can also use Rebrickable to export an inventory to an LDCad partsbin file (pbg file). :classic:

I am using LDD, but will take a look at what you said. Need something that creates a LDR template for me for LDD from a bricklink xml file :)

Well, in that case the pbg files won't be of use to you I'm afraid :sceptic:

I'm 100% sure there was a program that could do it though (I used it myself in the past), I just can't remember what it's called... :sceptic:
