| Q:
I have AutoCAD 2007 and there is no 3DSOUT command,
what do I do?
A:
Beginning in version 2007, AutoCAD removed the 3DSOUT
command which is used to create .3ds files from AutoCAD
drawings. This command was widely used to convert solids
within AutoCAD to faces. AutoCAD has released a patch
which re-enables the 3DSOUT command. Follow these directions
to install and use the command:
- Download
the 32-bit
or 64-bit
version of the patch based on your operating system
and save it to a temporary location
- Double
click the 3dsout32bit_enu.exe or 3dsout64bit_enu.exe
to run the installation.
- Accept
the license agreeement.
- Enter
the location of the program folder for which you want
to use the 3DSOUT command (for example, C:\Program
Files\AutoCAD2007).
- Open
AutoCAD and type "appload" at the command
prompt.
- In
the Load/Unload Application dialog box, navigate to
the folder where you installed the Ac3Dsout.arx file
and select it and click Load and Close.
- Use
the 3dsout command like you normally would, by typing
3DSOUT at the command link and then selecting the
objects to export.
