3DS to AutoCAD
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to 3DS and AutoCAD interoperability and exchange that could help you with the 3DS to AutoCAD conversion.
- Import STEP, STL, OBJ, 3DM, SKP and other 3D files in AutoCAD
- Import and export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES and STEP files
3DS File
3DS (3D Studio) file extension is a famous file format for storing polygonal mesh models with the additional support for the model names, materials with transparent colors and texture images. For the legacy reasons the maximum length of 3DS model name is 8 characters, and the maximum number of triangles in a single 3DS mesh object is 32.767, therefore during 3DS export process any bigger mesh will be divided into smaller shells. Using our Autoconverter or Autoshaper 3DS file converters you can convert any 3D model into 3DS file format and import it into a common DIALux lighting project.
AutoCAD Drawing
AutoCAD is a leading CAD (Computer Aided Design) software program developed and maintained by Autodesk. It supports the native DWG drawing format which is capable of storing 2D and 3D geometry data along with the additional project metadata. Our Automesher Application and Automapki Application software allows you to import and export from many external file formats into AutoCAD drawing model space. For the best integration with the AutoCAD environment and the most optimized translation from the external 3D file formats we use the most advanced ObjectARX customization technology from Autodesk.
