Mark 30754[/snapback] What file format is it? 3D .dwg? never heard that one Inventor - then you need new Translator option AutoCAD 3D DXF - Can import into IC tom Edited December 21, 2010 by tlehnhaeuser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgajewski Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 It appears to be a 3D DWG format. Autocad's DWG files seem to be capable of having 3D solids in them. I have downloaded a number of those 3D files from http://www.bebitalia.com/ - one of them is attached. Regarding the format itself, I am not familiar with it either but I have come across it on a few occasions. Here is what a Google search produced: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navc...ad+3d+dwg+files I guess we cannot get away from Autocad...

Robert Andersson Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 DWG supports 3D. Remember Mechanical Desktop? Also you can do 3D solid modeling in AutoCAD (not LT). First there where the 3D AME module, then ACIS was implemented in to AutoCAD. If you have AutoCAD, at the promt enter ACISOUT (I think) then you get a .SAT out of the DWG. Not many DWG importers supports 3D. Its not that un common that users still do 3D solid modeling in a clean AutoCAD. Not the speediest way to create in 3D do.

I downloaded some of those files from www.swedese.se They seem to use 3D DWG files for the downloads they make available on their site. I wish they used Ironcad : ) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damann Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi Mark, I can convert the files for you. It works with Solid Works. See attachement. amdi Stuhl.ics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Most of the AutoCAD 3D DXF will import as Facet models in IRONCAD (not solids). As Robert stated, ACIS is the better method for the solids. Thanks Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
