    Hi,

    I'm a complete newbie so please excuse my question.

    I have created a mechanic piece in Autocad 2004 that contains extruded
    circles, subtracted solids, ...
    I would like to then import the model in 3dsmax but when I import the dwg or
    the 3DS file the extruded circles only have 12 facets : doesn't look like a
    cylinder !

    how can I export the real model (smooth), real circles, cylinder ... ?

    Thank you very much !

    William

    Might be that your value of VIEWRES is too low. It controls the number of
    straight lines used to produce a circle in AutoCAD. REGEN makes it look
    like a true circle, but perhaps the other software cannot produce
    that effect.
