claudioarchi Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 yes i want to export from autocad to max and keeping the units (scale) as in autocad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbr Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Make sure that the dwg file was not scaled for an engineer. I've had several files that needed to be multiplied by (damn, can't remember) to bring it to the correct inches/feet scale. Also look to see what the units are in Max. Someone else know? There was a post about this a few months ago, I think. I'll try to find it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
