I was wondering how you view .dat files? I always have problems when I even consider trying to figure it out and I can never figure out what I am doing wrong. Please help

I believe you cannot view .dat files normally as they are program archives, but there's software which is able to extract and run their content. Anyway I will not reccomend the use of such software if it does not come as a setup or installer with the respective data. Otherwise you may cause significant damage to your system.
Anyway what's that to do with LEGO?

Perhaps a ldraw related file? If it is not LEGO related please do not post it. Thanks.Formendacil wrote:Nothing in this forum. Possibly in Publishing, so it's being moved there.ragnarok wrote:Anyway what's that to do with LEGO?
I presume, Dusty, that there is some sort of LEGO-related document/file you're trying to view.

Yes, LDraw files are called DAT files. For instance, see this lugnet.cad post which seems to be the code for a tire. Unfortunately I have only lightly dabbled in LDraw, so I don't know how to import these files. I'm guessing the software you need can be downloaded from this LDraw.org page.
