Convert COB to AutoCAD - 3-Step 3D File Conversion You Can Trust

COB to AutoCAD Conversion

Our importer handles COB to AutoCAD conversion with just a few clicks described below:

1. Download Automesher Application

   Import COB files directly into AutoCAD drawings with Automesher Application - simply install the add-on and restart your CAD software.

2. Import COB File

   Execute the AmImportMesh command or click the Import Mesh button to open your COB (.cob, .scn) file.

3. Choose AutoCAD Entity Type

   Select your target AutoCAD entity - Polyface Mesh, 3D Solid, Subdivision Mesh, 3D Face, or Surface - and press Enter to complete the COB file import into AutoCAD.

COB Caligari TrueSpace Object File

A proprietary 3D file type created by Caligari Corporation for their TrueSpace modeling and animation software. This format was designed to store complete 3D scenes including geometry, materials, and animation data from TrueSpace projects. While the software is no longer actively developed, COb files remain important for working with legacy 3D assets and converting older TrueSpace creations to modern formats.

Key Features of COB

• Complete 3D Scene Storage: COB files save entire 3D scenes including models, lights, and cameras in a single file.
• COB File Formats: There are two types of COB files:
  • ASCII - Human-readable for manual edits and debugging in any text editor.
  • Binary - Smaller file sizes and faster loading for complex 3D scenes.
• Material Support: The COB format stores color, texture, and basic material properties for 3D objects.
• NURBS and Mesh Data: Supports both NURBS surfaces and polygonal mesh geometry types.

COB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application support importing COB files (TrueSpace format) and converting them to other 3D formats like STEP, SAT, FBX, SKP, and OBJ. The conversion preserves key elements including materials, textures, and UV coordinates from the original COB file. This is made possible through our use of the Open Asset Import Library, which ensures reliable cross-platform conversions. Note that only import is supported - you cannot export back to COB format.

DWG AutoCAD DWG Drawing File Format

AutoCAD by Autodesk is one of the most widely used CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software solutions, renowned for its native support of the DWG file format. Trusted by architects, engineers, and designers, AutoCAD delivers powerful tools for precision 2D drafting, detailed 3D modeling, floor plan creation, and construction documentation across industries.

Top Features of AutoCAD and DWG Files

• 2D Drafting and 3D Modeling: Design accurate technical drawings and detailed 3D models with comprehensive CAD toolsets.
• Customization and Automation: Enhance productivity using AutoLISP, scripts, and AutoCAD's ObjectARX API for customized workflows and advanced automations.
• Native DWG Format: Ensure high compatibility, performance, and data integrity by working directly with AutoCAD's industry-standard DWG file format.
• Dynamic Blocks: Create intelligent, parametric blocks that adapt to project requirements, boosting design efficiency and flexibility.
