We have maya 2012 and autocad 2013. Does direct connect 2011 allow you to import autocad dwg files into maya? If not, has Autodesk updated direct connect as a maya/autocad plug in so we can use dwgs between the two programs? I can't get support to answer this, they keep saying "we monitor the forums, ask there." So, here goes! Autodesk ought to take a lesson from zbrush, who imports/exports with one button now!

if the users import their old (Acad 2010 Map 3D) files where symbollists and view settings are stored.
After a restart of Acad it hangs up with following Errors (See attached).
We can solve this issue temporary with restoring the defaults.
So the problem is importing old files so i think it is not campatible with this old acad 2010 files.
Is there a way to import such old files?

I have different SLDPRT files I would like to import into AutoCAD Mechanical 2014 (it's a student version).
My colleague is able to import those files, in my case it always fails even though we are having the same files and the same version.
He has Windows 7, I have Windows 8.1.
I have recently upgraded to 2013 FDS and now when I try to import Acad files (sometimes up to 2000 solids) it takes virtually a full day to import one file. When I had 2011 I could import these files much faster.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Map 3d 2010 to Mapd 3d 2013 and i cannot figure out how to find the commands to insert images or import/export shp files.
I'm running 2013 in "autocad classic" and did so with 2010 as well. 2010 had a menu bar pull down called "Map" where I could insert an image (Image->Insert). There was also in 2010 a toolbar named "Map" that had import shp, export shp and assign coordinate system.
I can't find any of this in 2013. I can't even find the commands in the customization to create my own toolbar. The commands work (mapiinsert, mapimport, mapexport and ADESETCRDSYS) but i can't find them listed anywhere.
Importing SAT files has an error trying to open multiple files using the Select Additional SAT Files for Import Button.
Work around is to import using 2012, save and open in 2013, but have not fully tested. Have not tried yet using a 2012 max file as an xRef in 2013.
I created 3D text in Photoshop CS6 and exported the mesh as an obj. I was able to import the obj file directly into 3DS Max 2013, but could not import it into Maya 2013 and 2014, because both versions cited incorrect data. Is this a bug or user error? Obvious workaround is to use Max to re-export, but would prefer to have it work directly in Maya.

1) Panels > Saved Layouts > Persp/UV Texture Editor
2) Select object, RMB > Assign new material > Lambert
3) Attributes Editor > Common Material Attributes > Color > Map button > Checkered
When I do this with a default Maya sphere, it works just fine.
However when I attempt this with a mesh that I have imported from Blender, it no longer works (it turns white instead of checkered textured).
When I import an object with a SSS shader into my scene, it will randomly turn black and have no shader at all. If I go to hypershade and to reassign the sss shader, it has no effect. How can I import an object with SSS?
