How to convert PDMS 3D Model to AutoCAD DWG 13 AUG First of all, I want to make a disclaimer that this method only works for simple models such as an equipment. Larger files will cause problems during opening of the DXF file. Software you need to have in your PC prior to conversion: 1. PDMS (of course)
2. AutoCAD (or other software that can open DXF and DWG file) 3. Naviswork Manage or Simulate (not Naviswork Freedom)
4. Autodesk FBX (do a Google search with keyword “ x to dxf”) It’s a free software. You can download from Autodesk website. These are the steps:
1. Open PDMS Design application and decide what element you want to export.
2. Rename the element and all elements under it so that all elements to be named. Use a macro to speed up the process. Skipping this step will cause error during opening the DXF file.
3. Select menu Export –> Create and export the element into an RVM file.

Good point. I think using Explant is the best option and can avoid the problems. I wrote the post for those without Explant license and for small files. Reply

There is no need to use ‘Autodesk FBX Converter’ anymore. Use FBXIMPORT command from AutoCAD. Reply
