Exporting AutoCAD DWG Files
File menu > Export > AutoCAD (*.DWG)
When you export an AutoCAD drawing file, you convert your 3ds Max objects
into AutoCAD objects. Because AutoCAD doesn't support animation, the
exporter produces objects in a static state defined by the current frame set by
the time slider.
If you used layers, instances, or colors to organize objects in the scene, that
structure is maintained when the model is exported.
Exported objects with modifiers assigned to them are affected by the current
state of the modifier. For instance, if the Taper modifier assigned to a box is
turned off, the exported scene shows a non-tapered box.
NOTE Layers created in 3ds Max are not exported to AutoCAD.
NOTE Exporting to an AutoCAD R14 drawing file is not supported. If you are
working with AutoCAD R14, export to 3DS or DXF file format.
What to Expect When Opening the DWG File
When you open an exported drawing in AutoCAD, you are presented with
an isometric (3/4) view looking toward the positive XY direction instead of a
Front elevation view.
