Convert COB to AutoCAD - 3-Step 3D File Conversion You Can Trust

COB to AutoCAD Conversion

Our importer handles COB to AutoCAD conversion with just a few clicks described below:

1. Download Automesher Application

   Import COB files directly into AutoCAD drawings with Automesher Application - simply install the add-on and restart your CAD software.

2. Import COB File

   Execute the AmImportMesh command or click the Import Mesh button to open your COB (.cob, .scn) file.

3. Choose AutoCAD Entity Type

   Select your target AutoCAD entity - Polyface Mesh, 3D Solid, Subdivision Mesh, 3D Face, or Surface - and press Enter to complete the COB file import into AutoCAD.

COB Caligari TrueSpace Object File

A proprietary 3D file type created by Caligari Corporation for their TrueSpace modeling and animation software. This format was designed to store complete 3D scenes including geometry, materials, and animation data from TrueSpace projects. While the software is no longer actively developed, COb files remain important for working with legacy 3D assets and converting older TrueSpace creations to modern formats.

Key Features of COB

• Complete 3D Scene Storage: COB files save entire 3D scenes including models, lights, and cameras in a single file.
• COB File Formats: There are two types of COB files:
  • ASCII - Human-readable for manual edits and debugging in any text editor.
  • Binary - Smaller file sizes and faster loading for complex 3D scenes.
• Material Support: The COB format stores color, texture, and basic material properties for 3D objects.
• NURBS and Mesh Data: Supports both NURBS surfaces and polygonal mesh geometry types.

COB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application support importing COB files (TrueSpace format) and converting them to other 3D formats like STEP, SAT, FBX, SKP, and OBJ. The conversion preserves key elements including materials, textures, and UV coordinates from the original COB file. This is made possible through our use of the Open Asset Import Library, which ensures reliable cross-platform conversions. Note that only import is supported - you cannot export back to COB format.

CAD AutoCAD DWG File Format - Convert DWG Drawings

AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk, is an industry-leading CAD software known for its precision, versatility, and native support for the DWG file format. DWG (Drawing) files are the standard format for storing 2D and 3D design data, widely used in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries worldwide.

Key Features of AutoCAD and DWG Files

• Comprehensive CAD Tools: Create professional 2D technical drawings and detailed 3D models using AutoCAD’s robust drafting and modeling capabilities.
• DWG File Compatibility: Work directly with native .dwg files to ensure maximum data accuracy, cross-platform collaboration, and version control.
• Custom Automation: Automate repetitive tasks and customize your workflow using AutoLISP, ObjectARX, and custom scripts for greater efficiency.
• Dynamic Blocks & Parametric Design: Use smart blocks with adjustable parameters to simplify complex designs and speed up drawing creation.
