'''{{PAGENAME}}''' files are the native format used by [[LEGO Digital Designer]]. They are not compatible with the [[LDraw]] system, although models created in this format can be converted to [[LDR]] files by using LDD's "Export" function. LDR files can also be converted to LXF by using the "Import" function.<br />
<br />
The data inside is stored as XML, although a similar positioning/matrix system is used for specifying part location/rotation.<br />
<br />
LXF files act as containers to two other files, which are always named as follows:<br />
<br />
* {{code|IMAGE100.lxfml}}<br />
* {{code|IMAGE100.png}}<br />
<br />
The PNG file is a thumbnail of the model, used in the list of recent models displayed at startup.<br />
<br />
==Example==<br />
The following is an example of the LXFML data contained within an LXF file consisting of only one '''3001 Brick 2 x 4''' in red, positioned at "0,0,0":<br />
