Hello @Anonymous,

Thanks for the update. Am I correct that you are able to import the file now using older format settings? Would it be possible to attach a simple dwg file that has this problem so I can test things on my end? I don't know AutoCAD so I doubt my ability to match what you've got, but I can look into the 3ds Max side of things no problem. Thanks for that!

Best Regards,

Hello @Anonymous,

I opened the scene in AutoCAD and it seems all objects are on layer 0 or layer ele wall. When Max imports the file it assigns random colors to the layers, you can change them as shown below. (Or add materials in AutoCAD.) Can you please try that for me?

Best Regards,

Hello @rendermaster,

I wasn't able to get these mats to show up like this... I even have the same settings on my preset. Did you manually do that or did I miss something?

@Anonymous, are you all set now? If so, please mark any posts by clicking "Accept as Solution" and thank you so much for doing so! If not, did you have any problems assigning materials? I'll do whatever I can to help.

Best Regards,

Hi to all,

I'm posting here, even my problem is different, but I assume its better than opening a new thread.

I have an old file I need to open in 2014 version.

As far I know, it was made in that version a few years ago, but I can't import it now.

I didn't use MAX a few years, so today I downloaded my license again to a new computer.

This is what Im getting on import:

These are the properties of the file I'm trying to import:

I'm rusted in MAX knowledge, so I hope this is not a very dumb question.

I need this file just to check something so, if we cant solve this problem quickly, I'm looking for the second answer: How to convert it in 3ds file, or can anyone do that for me?

Cause this type of file is importing without a problem:

Thanks in advance!
