#.DWG to .3ds ?'s
3 messages in this thread
Howdy all,
Does anyone know how to convert a .DWG to a .3DS format? I'm working
with a client who is using autocad v 13 -14? they have provided us with .DXF in
the past with less than desirable results and I was wondering if the .DWG
format translates into .3DS any better.
Any help would be much appreciated,

Hi James,
as I know, there's no .dwg to .3ds conversation, and be careful with ACAD 13's
.DXF format, it's not compatible with the older format until V12.
(as Brian would say : discuss it in the ACAD forum 🙂 )
Seems you just stepped on a proximity bomb, sorry.

James,
If they are using AutoCAD 13 there is a 3DSOUT command built into R13.
If you want to go with the .DXF files, you will need either 3DS R4c1
or the DXFPCH.ZIP file here on CIS to run on your 3DS R4.
