I believe this is new. Lego Digital Designer v 3.0 has now been released here. Also instead of factory we now have the name 'Design by Me'. Instead of downloading the software again you can simply update it to the latest version by opening an older version of LDD.

Some of the features have been revised, such as hinge tool. Discuss .

(wrong place? Please can an admin move.)

Thanks for the heads-up about this

Although the program updated, did the part selection actually change? It seems like the same to me. If not, does anyone know when it will change/update?

Props to Skipper24!

As soon as the PaB selection is updated. But who knows when that is...

Shame is that since my whole internet browsing (Not connection for some strange reason) has gone, I cannot update or send my creations to the Website. What new pieces or removed pieces are there?

I downloaded it and I thought it was going to be great... Well it was at first and designing the box was cool but then I saw the price and my draw dropped. It was exactly $74.34 for 16 different Pet Cubes I made and it was only 319 pieces. That is OUTRAGES for the peice to price ratio. Now my parents won't let me order it. And I think the part selection is the same.

Strangely, the selection of orderable parts is the same, but the library of unorderable parts was actually increased... (namely technic pieces)

That is OUTRAGES for the peice to price ratio. Now my parents won't let me order it. And I think the part selection is the same.

This is why I started to use Bricklink.com. You can find tons of cheap pieces and discontinued pieces. I just use LDD to design my item then go to bricklink to buy it. Also, when ever I hit E it won't erase the bricks, it just says all pieces are buyable.

Is it just me, or did they remove all the parts that you couldn't buy in the first place like NXT sensors and train track?

I recently downloaded the new ldd, I was impressed with some new features, such as the improved case design and the generated instructions for your model, I think I'll make an order to see what it's like.

Is any one experiencing problems with LDD 3.0 in Windows 7?

When I try to run the program I get a 75% loaded image of the program and the when I try anything it keeps trying to refresh the screen and freezes up.

My Graphics card is a NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS

4gig ram

duel core @ 2.60GHz

loads of memory?

Any hints?

It's probably just because it's not compatible with Windows 7. I have a lot of games that don't work because I use Vista.

LDD 3 supports Windows 7: http://en-us.kb.lego.com/ics/support/KBAns...?questionID=161
