4 Set options in the Export to AutoCAD File dialog (described below).
Interface
Export version
Export version 3ds Max allows you to export to AutoCAD 2007, AutoCAD
2004, or AutoCAD 2000.
The next option lets you choose to export everything in the current scene or
only selected objects:
■ Entire Scene All objects in the scene are exported. This is the default
setting.
■ Selected Objects Only selected objects are exported. Choosing this is
equivalent to using File >
Export Selected on page 6895 .
Geometry Options group
Convert Instances To Blocks Converts instances to AutoCAD block insertions.
The block definition uses the same name as the first instance converted. When
turned off, each instance is converted as a separate AutoCAD object. References
are always exported as separate objects.
Skip Hidden Objects Toggles export of hidden objects. When on, hidden
objects are not exported.
Ignore Extrude Capping When on, exports shapes with Extrude modifiers
as 2D AutoCAD objects with a thickness property, and ignores the state of the
Cap Start and Cap End parameters. When off, shapes with Extrude modifiers
that also have Cap Start or Cap End on are exported as polyface 3D meshes.
