AutoCAD DXF to Maya 2003-11-20 - By Aleksandar Stiglic
Back
For curves, edges, you need to use IGES format.
For just vertices, you can use DXF, then make small mel script
to read lines and do whatever you need it to do (DXF is in Ascii format).
Or just get polytrans and you can export Autocad ACIS SAT native format...
and load it through polytrans into maya...
But you can not import trimed nurbs.
New maya has DWG import as we, so I suggest read try different types of
objects different ways until you get what you are after...
Hope this helps
