Is there a way to convert an Autocad DWG file to something that 3DSr3 can use without Autocad? I just down loaded NCC170.DWG from this forum and I can't figure out how to get it into 3DS.

Andy – do you know anyone who owns AutoCAD who could make a DXF for you? If not, you'll need to get a conversion program that will probably set you back in the ballpark of $100 or so… worthwhile if you've got lots, but expensive if it's a one-off. Let me know if you want some product info… (and won't it be great when 3D Studio can read a DWG!).

>>NCC170.DWG -> 3DS… Andy, I grabbed NCC170.DWG with the intention of converting it, but it appears to be missing some essential xref files. I sent email to 73663,3715 about this – I'll let you know what I find out. I'd be glad to send you a 3DS file or upload the converted model (with permission) once I get it straightened out.
