LeoCAD is completely compatible with LDraw's parts library. In fact, the library included in the installer packages is just a ZIP archive of LDraw's library without any changes.

This is mostly done to simplify things so that new users do not need to download and install a separate file or worry about updating their library. Many LeoCAD users are young people without a lot of computer experience, so the setup process is kept as simple as possible.

At the same time, there are also experienced users who like to maintain their own libraries with unofficial parts that they create or download from the internet. Those people can still use their LDraw library with LeoCAD, all they need to do is tell LeoCAD where to find it.

Note that there is a performance advantage for using a zip file for the library, as the application will take less time to start, and the models will load faster.
