How to Convert CSM to BricsCAD?
Want to bring CSM into BricsCAD smoothly? Our custom importer makes it effortless in 3 simple steps:
Download Automesher Application
Import CSM files directly into BricsCAD drawings with Automesher Application - simply install the add-on and restart your CAD software.
Import CSM File
Execute the AmImportMesh command or click the Import Mesh button to open your CSM (.csm) file.
Choose BricsCAD Entity Type
Select your target BricsCAD entity - Polyface Mesh, 3D Solid, Subdivision Mesh, 3D Face, or Surface - and press Enter to complete the CSM file import into BricsCAD.
Still need assistance with CSM to BricsCAD conversion? These professional tutorials make CSM files conversion simple:

- AutoCAD Import/Export: STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES, SKP, and More
Character Studio CSM File Format
The CSM file format was developed for Autodesk's Character Studio, an advanced animation toolkit integrated with 3ds Max. CSM files store complete skeletal animation data including bone structures, biped rigs, skin weights, and motion capture sequences. While now considered legacy, CSM files remain important for animators working with classic 3D character rigs and motion workflows from the 1995-2010 era.
Key Features of CSM Files
- Motion Capture Support: Stores raw mocap data, animation keyframes, and movement sequences.
- Facial Animation: Includes support for morph targets and complex facial rigging systems.
- Skeletal Rig Preservation: Maintains biped hierarchies, inverse kinematics, and character bones.
- Legacy Integration: Native to Autodesk 3ds Max and Character Studio pipelines (pre-FBX era).
CSM File Conversion Tools
Convert legacy CSM animation files into modern formats like FBX, GLB, OBJ, STL, DAE, and SKP using Autoconverter and Automesher Application. Our tools utilize the Open Asset Import Library to accurately read Character Studio data and export animated characters with bones, motion, and mesh data intact. Perfect for reviving archived mocap animations or transitioning old 3ds Max rigs to current 3D workflows.
BricsCAD Drawing - DWG File Format and Conversion
