Precision group
Decimals Lets you specify the precision (the number of digits after the
decimal) of the values exported to the ASCII file.
Controller Output group
Use Keys Exports key values. If the controller doesn't use keys, then the Force
Sample method is used. In the case of transform controllers, the Use Keys
option works only if all of the transform controllers are either Linear/TCB or
Bezier. If one of the transform tracks uses a different type of controller, then
the Force Sample method is used for all transform tracks.
Force Sample Samples controller values based on the frequency specified in
the Frames per Sample Controller.
Frames per Sample group
Controllers Specifies the frequency, in frames, with which to sample
controller values for export.
Animated Objects Specifies the frequency, in frames, with which to output
animation settings and mesh definitions.

File Link Manager on page 6783 to connect
to drawing files; this lets you maintain a “live” link between the applications.
However, if you prefer you can also use the Import command to bind to the
drawing file immediately.
When you import a drawing file, 3ds Max converts a subset of the AutoCAD,
AutoCAD Architecture (formerly Architectural Desktop), or Revit objects to
corresponding 3ds Max objects.
After you select a drawing file to import, the AutoCAD DWG/DXF Import
Options dialog is displayed. After choosing options and proceeding with the
import, you are presented with editable meshes, editable splines, and PRS
