Importing LDraw parts into LeoCAD

I'm having terrible problems - I'm trying to import all the pieces in the
last LCAD update to the LDraw parts into LeoCAD. The thing is, try as I
might I can't just add them to my LeoCAD parts file, it deletes the existing
parts file and replaces it with the latest update.

Apart from getting *all* the LDraw files and rebuilding the whole parts
file, does anybody know how to get these pieces added?

I've even tried importing each .dat file one by one - but there seems to be
a bug going that route, and it crashes my PC =(

Any help will be greatfully received - with the parts file updated to the
same one as LDraw users have, I'll be able to finish my World Cup models!

Cheers

Shed

  The program because of 2 files, the others were imported correctly here.

Wow - that's service! I realised that the problem I was having was that the
program couldn't find all the pieces it needed to in the S/ directory for
LDraw - probably because it wasn't there, hence the directory request box,
and hence the crash when I pointed it to the S/ directory in the LCAD
distribution.

Thanks Leonardo!

  The dialog box that appears when you try to import a piece is not very
clear, first you have to select the LDraw root directory (something like
c:\lego\ldraw) and then you have to choose the file you want to import.
