From the LeoCAD FAQ at http://trac.gerf.org/leocad/wiki/FAQ 5. I found a new LDraw piece and I would like to use it in LeoCAD, how do I add it to the library? Just place the piece and all its unofficial subpieces and primitives properly in the LDraw folder (you must have the LDraw library installed to do this). Open LeoCAD, go to the Piece Library manager (in the File menu) and then select Import Piece on the File menu of the PLM. Once you import all pieces restart LeoCAD and they should be visible in the library. (addition by me: I've found that the PLM can seem to be unresponsive. If there are no problems with a part import, it just silently sits there; when normally you might expect bells and whistles and fireworks to go off. That only happens if there's some problem, like a missing sub-part. You also have to restart LeoCAD to see the changes; so a lot of people (including me, on occasion), have decided that this part of the program doesn't work, or doesn't do anything. But it does...)
