Transfering a file from 3D MAX into CAD

Okay, so i found a 3D image online that opens only in 3D Max, but I need to get it into Auto Cad. Any Ideas onto how I would do that?

Thanks!

What file format is it?

It is a 3dsMax Scene File....I got the block off of the Herman Miller website.

Its a 3D image of an Eames Rocker Chair and I need to transfer the image into Auto Cad so that I can edit it. Is this possible?

Not with a Max scene file. Autocad can't read .max files. You will have to open it in Max and then Export it as an Autocad .dwg file.

under the file tab you have to export and than change the extension to .dwg .If it's a rendered image don't be upset when it doesn't look pretty anymore

Thank you. That helped.

Weird, i always thought you could just select the file, ctrl+c it and then ctrl+v it to 3d max.

He wants to open his Max file with Autocad, which is not possible.

FYI:

Ctrl+C in Max creates a camera

Ctrl+V in Max clones selected objects
