    This document provides a 10-step process for converting a 3D model from PDMS to AutoCAD DWG format. It involves first exporting the PDMS model to an RVM file, then opening that in Navisworks and exporting to FBX format. Next, the FBX file is opened in Autodesk FBX Converter to convert it to DXF format, which can then be opened and saved as a DWG file in AutoCAD.

    How to convert PDMS 3D Model to AutoCAD DWG


    13 AUG
    First of all, I want to make a disclaimer that this method only works for simple models such as an equipment. Larger les will cause problems during opening of the DXF le.
    Software you need to have in your PC prior to conversion:
    1. PDMS (of course)

    2. AutoCAD (or other software that can open DXF and DWG le)
    3. Naviswork Manage or Simulate (not Naviswork Freedom)

    4. Autodesk FBX (do a Google search with keyword x to dxf) Its a free software. You can download from Autodesk website.
    These are the steps:

    1. Open PDMS Design application and decide what element you want to export.

    2. Rename the element and all elements under it so that all elements to be named. Use a macro to speed up the process. Skipping this step will cause error during opening the DXF le.

    3. Select menu Export > Create and export the element into an RVM le.

    Good point. I think using Explant is the best option and can avoid the problems. I wrote the post for those without Explant license and for small les.

    There is no need to use Autodesk FBX Converter anymore.


    Use FBXIMPORT command from AutoCAD.
