Exporting DWG to FBX

[Anonymous]

Hi,

II am new to AutoCAD Architecture 2011 and I want to export a DWG file to FBX. I downloaded a sample drawing from the Autodesk site and opened it in Architecture. I then tried to export it to FBX by clicking on Export from the application menu and then selecting the Other formats option.

 Whenever I try to export the DWG file in this manner, I get an error message saying None of the Specified Objects can be exported, what do you want to do? I tried different DWG files but I always the same message.

It would be great if someone could help me in this regard.

Hi,

      Thanks for your reply. Looking forward to further updates regarding this.

Seems AutoCAD Architecture can not do a direct export to FBX (no idea why). If you try export a view to fbx it seems to do something (created an empty fbx file in the destination and showed continuous processor use by ACAD.exe) but I gave up after leaving running overnight.

If you have the Design Suite (or other access to 3D Max) link the AutoCAD Architecture view into a Max scene (choose the AutoCAD Architecture option for the import template) and export from Max. The same view took about 5 minutes to create a 200mb fbx (AutoCAD version of the same info is about the same size)
