    How can i get a model created in autocad to work in cinema 4d?
    I have downloaded a trial version of auto cad and i am able to save the file as a .dxf file, but when i open the project in c4d all i have is a bunch of splines and null objects. Any ideas?
    Thanks Emmet

    According to the documentation, Cinema suppports dxf up to AutoCad version 12. Perhaps you can save to that format? Otherwise you might try exporting to VRML or obj.

    For some reason the autocad version wont allow me to save the file as version 12 i get an error message
    and there is no option to export as VRML or obj?
    IF you have any other ideas let me know cheers Emmet
