I'd love a feature where when you make something in LDD, that you can input that
part list into brick link and have it find those parts for you and give you the
sellers that have the most parts you need. it would make it easier for custom
builders to get the parts they need in a bulk order.

Reason for this idea: I just started making custom builds. It took me 16 total
orders to get all the parts I needed because I had to search one by one for each
part. I might have been able to combine orders into only a couple places if
I had a feature like this.

It would be a bit of a pain, but you can add the items to your wish list, then
click on the shops in the Wanted section and the one at the top will have the
most parts for what is currently on your wishlist.

I found the feature really handy when I had the best part of 200 items to order
and it was a real pain finding a seller that had 1 or 2 items, but was way below
the min. order price. The shops section on the Wanted part even tells you the
min. order price too.

Please check out LDD Manager! I've used it before, and I've found it to be very
useful for creating parts lists for models. Besides being able to generate a
Wanted list from it, it will also compare the part/color combinations used in
the model to Bricklink, and let you know if you used combinations that either
don't exist, or could potentially be rare.

LDD Manager can do it.

It seems that LDD Manager only works on a PC and requires downloading a free
version of Microsoft Access.
