Convert AutoCAD to FBX

AutoCAD to FBX Conversion

Say goodbye to complicated exports - Exporting AutoCAD drawings to FBX takes just 3 easy steps:

  1. Download & Install:

    Export FBX files directly from AutoCAD drawings using our Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD session.
  2. Execute FBX Export:

    Launch the export process by typing AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the desired 3D entities (Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, 3D Face, or other 3D drawing entities) from your AutoCAD model space.
  3. Save as FBX File:

    In the save dialog, set the file type to FBX (*.fbx), choose your save location, enter a filename, and click Save to complete the export.

DWG AutoCAD Drawing

Autodesk's AutoCAD is a leading software program in the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD). It is renowned for its support of the native DWG drawing format. Widely used by architects, engineers, and designers, AutoCAD enables precise 2D drafting and 3D modeling. Its powerful tools streamline the creation of technical drawings, floor plans, and construction documentation.

Key Features of AutoCAD

  • 2D Drafting & 3D Modeling:

    Create precise technical drawings and realistic 3D models with a comprehensive set of tools.
  • Customization & Automation:

    Use AutoLISP, scripts, and ObjectARX (AutoCAD’s advanced API) to build custom applications and automate workflows.
  • Native DWG Support:

    Work seamlessly with AutoCAD’s proprietary DWG format, ensuring optimal performance, compatibility, and data integrity.
  • Dynamic Blocks:

    Create intelligent, reusable blocks with adjustable properties.

Automesher Application and Automapki Application are powerful AutoCAD add-ons designed to enhance your design workflow with advanced 3D and GIS capabilities. These applications enable seamless integration of external 3D models and geospatial data directly into your AutoCAD projects. With support for popular 3D formats like STL, SKP, and OBJ, as well as GIS standards including SHP and KML, these tools allow you to incorporate real-world geospatial information and complex 3D models into your CAD environment. Don't limit your AutoCAD designs - expand your possibilities with our Automesher & Automapki applications!


FBX Filmbox File

A proprietary, industry-standard file format for 3D assets and animations, originally developed by Kaydara for motion capture and later acquired by Autodesk. As a universal 3D interchange format, FBX enables seamless data exchange between 3D modeling, animation, and rendering applications, while preserving complex hierarchies, textures, and animation data.

FBX Key Features

  • Embedded Texture Images: FBX files allow all texture images to be stored directly within the 3D model file, rather than as separate external files. This ensures that the textures travel with the model, making it easier to share, distribute, and maintain visual consistency across different software and platforms.
  • Reusable Geometry Components: The FBX format allows for the storage of reusable geometry components, enhancing efficiency and consistency across models.
  • Assembly Structures: FBX supports the storage of assembly structures with hierarchical relationships between objects, enabling complex and detailed 3D modeling.
  • Model Animation Data: FBX can even store model animation data, although this feature is not currently supported by all software.

FBX File Converters

Autoconverter and Autoshaper software streamline FBX workflows by enabling high-fidelity conversions between FBX and 30+ CAD/3D formats (SKP, STEP, OBJ, etc.). These tools preserve critical data - including geometry, textures, animations, and hierarchies - while offering precision control for both engineering (NURBS) and entertainment (mesh optimization) applications.
