3DS Export for Solid Edge - 3D Studio 3DS file export add-in for Solid Edge
3DS
Export for Solid Edge is a 3D Studio (.3ds) file export add-in for
Solid Edge®. This add-in gives Solid Edge the ability to export 3D solid
and surface data from a Solid Edge part or assembly document to 3d
polygon meshes in a 3DS file.
3DS
Export for Solid Edge tessellates solid bodies in a Solid Edge
document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported
to a 3DS file as mesh objects. The 3DS file can then be imported into a
variety of CAD applications.
3DS Export for Solid Edge is very easy to use. It adds new commands
to Solid Edge. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Solid
Edge and adds a new submenu called "3DS Export for Solid Edge"
to
the Solid Edge Applications menu
containing
these newly added commands.
3DS
Export for Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in
the shortest possible time.

need any additional information please

The 3DS
File Format
The 3DS
file format is the native file format of 3D Studio. 3D Studio has now
been replaced by 3ds Max whose native file format has a .max file
extension. However, 3ds Max is still able to read and write .3ds files.
3ds Max is one of the most widely-used off the shelf 3D animation
programs. It has strong modeling capabilities, a flexible plug-in
architecture and a long heritage on the Microsoft Windows platform. It
is mostly used by video game developers, TV commercial studios and
architectural visualization studios. It is also used for movie effects
and movie pre-visualization.
