Hello.
Is it possible to export a 3D object in DXF or DWG instead of the sketches? It would be very helpful.

Hi, by this you mean exporting the 3d geometry to dwg, or exporting a 2d projected view of your design to dwg?

I created a 3D object and I want to export it to Autocad as a 3D object. So when opened in Autocad they have the same volume I created in Shapr3D. It only goes the sketches, but not the object.

Great, thanks! This is definitely something we want to do, but we are not sure yet when.
