major-tim Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 [ATTACH=CONFIG]44268[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]44269[/ATTACH]Hello everyone I'm having this issue with importing a .dwg file and was hoping someone on the board could impart some expertise... one screenshot is from Autocad, and the other "squiggly" version is what happens on import into max. I've never seen this before, does anyone know what could be the cause? I'm at a loss and the resident expert is stumped. I'm using autocad LT 2010 and max 2012...

major-tim Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 thanks Beverly, I've tried changing the Maximum Deviation for 3D solids value but that has no effect. Both the straight lines and the curves in the dwg are importing like a 4 year old had drawn them... T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev.lynn Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Is your drawing located near 0,0 in AutoCAD? If not, this could also be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
