3DSOUT is back!
The beloved 3DSOUT command comes back to us AutoCADders. The export of .3ds files was lost in AutoCAD 2007 (with the new render - 3DSOUT was part of the old render engine). But probably many users have complained about this as 3DS was a commonly used simple format for exchanging 3D data.
Now Autodesk returns the 3DSOUT back in the form of a downloadable utility for the 32-bit and 64-bit AutoCAD 2008, AutoCAD 2007 and other application from these families.
Go and download from the Autodesk site (AutoCAD updates).
Please note that some limitations apply for exporting lights and new-type materials, and there is a special step to take when installing under Windows Vista - see Readme.
