To install the file just go to the "LEGO Digital Designer/Assets" directory, back up the existing ldraw.xml and overwrite it with the latest version. Though the current LDD ships with a version containing a good bunch of translations compiled by the LEGO Universe Team and LDraw-Users you might replaced with an updated version that can be found here. The file can be found in the "LEGO Digital Designer/Assets" directory (where "LEGO Digital Designer" is the directory in which LDD 2 is installed). The conversion between LDraw and LDD is governed by the ldraw.xml file which contains all the information about these differences. While LDraw parts have their origin in the middle of the part the LDD origin is in the bottom right-hand corner.

The LDraw and LDD libraries differ in color numbers, sometimes in part numbers, the fact that LDD parts are measured in millimeters while LDraw uses LDUs – LDraw Units, but most notably in the part's origin point. This tutorial is based on MLCad 3.20 and LDD 2.3.15.

Have been installed, are running smoothly and that you are at least a little familiar with both programs.
