DirectConnect in Maya 2018

[Anonymous]

Hey People,

I would like to import a dwg document from AutoCad to Maya.

It seems that i have to go to Maya- windows-settings-plugin manager.

But it is not installed!

It is appeared this website http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=14561470 but it directs me to https://www.autodesk.com/products/alias-products/features.direct.connect.data.transfer.

I try to find out how i could down load the DirectConnect but I cannot find out.

Could you please assist me.

Hi!

Direct Connect is replaced by ATF.

Hi!

Autodesk ATF:

It's installed by default with Maya 2018, please check load state in Plug-in Manager.

Confirmed - Maya 2018 accepts STL files dropped into the viewport when ATF Plugin is enabled.
