OBJ to AutoCAD
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to OBJ and AutoCAD interoperability and exchange that could help you with the OBJ to AutoCAD conversion.
- Import and export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES and STEP files
- Export OBJ, STL, 3DM, SKP, PLY and other 3D files in AutoCAD
OBJ File
OBJ (Alias Wavefront Object) is a text-based file format for 3D geometry objects which is very popular and widely supported by many 3D software programs. The OBJ file format is capable of storing named group objects, surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, and quads or triangles as geometry primitives. However, our Autoconverter software will simplify every OBJ quad primitive with two triangles as only triangular facets are supported during the OBJ file conversion. It's important to mention that due to a textual format OBJ files will always be much bigger than the binary files, e.g. 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp).
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.
