A little help (hopefully)
I know I'm gonna catch some flack for this one but...Technically.... 3D Studio Max is not a true CAD system... It was originally intended as a suppliment to CAD softwares to do imaging and also to be used as a stand alone 3D animation package.

Ok, now to my question, do you have any other CAD systems??
AutoCAD, Solidworks, CAD-Key, or anything like that??

If you do, you might be able to convert it into a .sat, .iges, .dxf, or other equivilent file to then send in to 3D Studio as a recognizable 3d unit..

Don't quote me on this though, I have in fact not used this AutoSketch program you speak of and don't know it's limitations.
