Re: CAD to 3d studio max
If you are using 3ds 5.5 and up, then just import the .dwg file directly into 3d studio just as you would the 3ds. Look under the 'file types' portion when choosing a file and '.dwg' will be in the list. Make sure that everything has its own seperate layer because 3d studio max will automatically convert each layer to an individual object.

Hope this helps...

PS. Wait and set up the view in 3d studio, the camera control is much better
