X3D to AutoCAD
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to X3D and AutoCAD interoperability and exchange that could help you with the X3D to AutoCAD conversion.
X3D File
X3D (Extensible 3D) is an open source and royalty free XML based file format developed and maintained by the Web3D Consortium to store two or three dimensional models together with the other visualization data e.g. light source, viewport info, camera properties, special effects and more. The X3D file format becomes an advanced extension and actually the replacement for the original VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) file format used mostly by the WEB applications. The Autoconverter and Automesher Application are our X3D file converters which allow you to import and export mesh entities from the X3D file. To optimize file size the binary X3DB file can be used instead of a default text based X3D file. The shapes in X3D files are always defined in meters therefore our X3D converters will make the necessary units conversion if required.
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.
