Gentlemen, during a discussion I had with Andrew, we have uncovered a solution to the problem we've all been having where some of our creations either take a very long time to load, or even worse, you cant load them outside compatibility mode. Here's a step by step guide on how to fix your ailing creation files!
1) Open the creation (yes this is required to fix it sorry)
2) After it finally opens, go to File-> Export Model
3) In this window, change the file type at the bottom right of the window to LXFML4 and hit save.
4) Now close LDD and find the file in the location you saved it at in your computer's file browser and open the file. (You cant just select the file from a list in LDD because LDD can only technically open LXF files)
5) After it opens, go to File -> Save as, and save it over the old creation your trying to fix.
6) Open the file again just to make sure it works, and you should notice a significant reduction in load time!
I hope this helps every1!
